Galante was the public's favorite participant on Discovery Channel's program 'Naked and Afraid' in December of 2013, where he spent 21 demanding days in the jungles of Panama. The cast swiftly followed his lead as Forrest's skills shone. This was the public's introduction to the explorer Forrest Galante. He now hosts Animal Planet's hit program 'Extinct or Alive,' where he uses his unique set of skills scouring for evidence that animals deemed extinct may still be alive.
