During the shooting of a Shark Week special on the island of Sri Lanka, Forrest’s wife Jessica discovered a pair of deceased sharks that had previously been killed by fishermen. Although one of the sharks turned out to be a bull shark, DNA testing of the second specimen suggested that it could be a Pondicherry shark, a species that hadn’t been seen since 1979. Although some regional experts are confident that the shark found in the episode is a Pondicherry shark, additional molecular confirmation is needed before the shark’s identity can be confirmed.

During filming for the show in 2018, a camera trap caught apparent footage of a Zanzibar leopard on Unguja Island. The animal appeared smaller than specimens from the mainland, and seemed to have smaller, more solid spots than normally seen on African leopards. Further investigations are planned in order to confirm whether or not this is a Zanzibar leopard, and whether a viable population still exists.

On June 10, 2018, Galante’s docu-series, Extinct or Alive premiered on Animal Planet. The show sought to reveal whether animals believed to be extinct can potentially still be found. In each episode, Galante explored the habitats of these animals, often seeking protection to help preserve the species and encourage their continued survival. Destinations have included Taiwan (to search for the Formosan clouded leopard), Newfoundland (to explore the White Wolf), and Madagascar (to search for traces of the giant Pachylemur). Forrest Galante has stated that he is committed to uncovering the thyalcine and, after two expeditions, will continue searching.

In 2013, Galante made his first foray into television with an appearance on the Discovery Channel’s Naked and Afraid, where he participated in the show’s 21-day survival challenge. He completed the challenge—being dropped with a stranger in the remote section of northwestern Panama—and scored one of the highest PSR (primitive survival rating) in the show’s history.

While shooting footage for Season 2 in Colombia, the team caught and collected confirmed DNA samples from multiple individuals, including juveniles, of the Rio Apaporis caiman, a subspecies of Spectacled caiman that had been believed to be extinct for over 30 years, suggesting that a healthy breeding population may exist in the area. A Colombian scientist named Sergio Balaguera-Reina had discovered the caiman prior to Galante’s excursion and published a paper on it in 2019. Balaguera-Reina further disputes the claim that the caiman was believed to be extinct, saying, “We never thought that this caiman was extinct. But the political situation in Colombia prevented biologists from safely accessing the animal’s habitat to confirm that it’s still there.” “The ongoing conservation work by an in-country scientist like Sergio is the best news of all,” Galante remarked.

Galante, as host of the Extinct or Alive series, has been described by the scientific community as “a made-for-TV biologist: Crocodile-Dundee-style hat and all.” Galante is seen negatively by ecologists as the archetype for Parachute “Scientist”. A Parachute Scientist refers to a foreign scientist who drops into a county they don’t live in, makes use of local infrastructure, talent, and resources, then returns to write a paper, or take credit for the work of local scientists. Galante has been falsely credited with the discoveries of several species. With no discernible scientific or peer reviewed publications to his name as of 2019, and accusations of appropriation of other scientists’ (re)discoveries (e.g. Rio Apaporis caiman and the Fernandina giant tortoise), Galante’s practice of Parachute Science and Colonialistic Science is considered extremely damaging to the field of ecology.

While shooting footage for Season 2 at Dong Mo Lake in Vietnam in 2019, the team, along with members of the Asian Turtle Program (ATP), captured footage of a Yangtze giant softshell turtle, a functionally extinct species with only three known surviving individuals, surfacing from the lake for a brief period. Although efforts to bring a surviving female of the species to the lake to possibly breed with the individual recorded in the episode failed due to her death in April 2019, the team hopes that their findings could contribute to a possible rescue of the species from extinction.
