Any new shows coming out soon? Really love to watch them! I’m going into the field of environmental studies, probably with a minor in wildlife or conservation.
I wish more people would realize how important every creature is on this planet. The only species destroying the planet is us. And the powers at be don't want to make a true change.
How do you spell his name wrong, not just once, but TWICE, when it’s literally right in front of your face. Come on, dude. I hope you learn to read before attempting to seek a zoology career
We need the show back, there are definitely animals out there needing saving and a lot of those have already been given up on. You are one of the only researchers out there actually going into these regions and looking for these animals.
The seahorse seems pretty likely to be out there still; maybe the catfish too. I'm still pulling for the Tasmanian Tiger even though they didn't make this list. Did somebody win the bow fishing trip? If so was it me?
They just recently discovered a brand-new species of pygmy Seahorse. The oceans are so vast I agree that the seahorse is most likely still out there. The Thylacine, meh… not so much.
The Caspian tiger is one that may not be extinct!! Many sightings have been recorded in Iran, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan and especialy Turkey!! Even in Afghanistan, american military personal reported tigers in northern afghanistan many times during occupation!! Central asia and the middle east are huge places with many isolated areas where the caspian tiger has many chances of survival!!
i would bring a load of disposable cameras and give them to all the local people i could and encourage them to try to get pics of these rare creatures in return for money or something to get confirmation of their existence
I am almost 50, 49 today actually. I grew up on the east coast of Australia in southern Queensland. As a child the beach was littered with seahorse carcasses, and as I was a child, I thought that was natural. Now I have not seen a seahorse carcass in 30+ years and it makes me wonder if I was seeing a mass extinction back then. Any ideas Forrest?
Not in Greece sadly. It’s not a species though, just a subspecies categorised differently mostly because of it’s specific geographic location. From what I understand it’s pretty identical to the eurasian lynx
9:25 - 9:36 I know that back in the summer of 2019, members of Re:Wild, The Swiss Center for Scientific Research & The Florida Atlantic University went to the Tanoe-Ehy Forest and set up camera traps to find the lost monkey species. There's a link on their website that shows footage of other rare and endangered primates they recorded.
The story I heard was that in 1888 after a storm in newZealand a very large lizard was found in Hokieanga .lots of people saw it and the local moari took it away.
Regarding that primate…I don’t think I can demonize people for hunting endangered species if it’s for meat. I can’t even call that poaching but doing what ya gotta do
The Japanese wolf and otter would be incredible finds! 2 extremely cool creatures that have awesome roles in Japanese folklore, if only we got extinct or alive season 3.
I definitely have the highest hopes for the giant gecko and the seahorse for how illusive they seem for different reasons that don’t really seem to be too human involved
I'd love a video on ground sloths with all theories Forrest has on where they could still be, how many and their chance of one day being discovered again
My local Petco had what was labeled as a Zag Monitor for sale a few months ago. I watched this video and went back to see if it was still there, but they said they sold it.
@ForrestGalante, you need to indicate ‘paid product placement’ for your Magic Mind health shot in your video or they may be demonetized. Only looking out… - love the vids.
The stuffed big gecko being discovered in a museum after remaining unnoticed for more than a hundred years news makes me think, what if there were other such last and only specimens that got damage / eaten by pests / thrown away by janitors who thought they were replaceable!
When I was a boy there were fish about the size of your little finger that lived in a tiny stream below a spring head in Louisiana. They had rainbow colors on brown and stayed under the rocks and would poke their heads out and turn their heads to look both directions like an eel does. Sadly, a gravel pit allowed runoff to fill the stream in with sand and debris. I've never seen them catalogued and they are likely extinct now
Have you ever covered the Carolina Parakeet, which was really a Conure Parrot and America's only native parrot species. Their extinction due to hunting for feathers or just fun and habitat destruction always breaks my heart.
They’re not the US’s only native parrot. There’s a species called the green parakeet or the Mexican green conure that is native to the very southern tip of Texas. They’re different from the invasive feral green Quaker parrots but often confused with them. They’re incredibly bright green and so cute! I’ve had them in my yard a few times.
Hi Forrest, I’m Zack and I’m a big fan of your shows, and your work trying to find extinct animals. I was so inspired by your work that I made a painting about extinct animals. I call it the tears of mother nature
Mate, loved the video, and I HATE to be that guy, but I'm a patriot. The Loch Ness Monster "Nessie" has always been told to be a female decent of the placiosaur, sorry bud, gotta know your Myths and Legends. Loved the video though, for real ❤
Forrest I could see you doing a video on crucially endangered bumblebees. Especially the Rusty Patched and American bumblebees. Both of these have vanished from their ranges . There was a documentary out there made about the Rusty Patched Bumblebee that really got me into what’s going on with a virus killing them off
recently (2023) the dna of the kawekaweau was sequenced and it was discovered that it was from new Caledonia, not NZ sadly, it would be cool it it was the lost kawekaweau from legend but it sadly is not
I was in Florida petting sting rays at sea world the same day i heard Steve died from one. It crushed me for some reason. I loved watching him. You remind me of him in a way because of your enthusiasm about nature. I dont know if you were a fan of him or how he did things but i see him in you. Hope thats a compliment. And yes i know SeaWorld is awful in a way but i didnt know at the time. For everyone not liking SeaWorld.
Was the Extinct or Alive series partially based on/inspired by Re:Wild's "Most Wanted Lost Species", which started in 2017? (Hence why they critiqued your involvement with both the Pondichery Shark & Fernandina Tortoise)
Forrest I would love to see an episode of you talking with Jeremy Wade and his once in a lifetime catch of the incredibly rare Glyphis Shark he caught. Also take him to find that fat catfish on a new Extinct or alive episode hes the best man for the task 👍
Hey Forest! Love you channel and shows I was wondering if you were going to release another season of extinct or alive? I’ve rewatched so many times and you’re so good at explaining different things about animals it’d be awesome!
Coming from new Zealand there is no "Maori country" and there are plenty of DOC (department of conservation) workers that go to the most remote forested areas in order to hunt possums, wild cats, deer and pigs to preserve native wildlife
The real problem is Forrest not calling the gecko by the Maori name instead of the name a European who didn't discover the animal calling it after himself
Podocarpus totara the tōtara is a species of podocarp tree endemic to New Zealand. It grows throughout the North Island, South Island and rarely on Stewart Island / Rakiura in lowland, montane and lower subalpine forest at elevations of up to 600 m.

I feel like a really good point to try and find presumed extinct species is to help get an idea of what will happen to already endangered species that would really benefit to being protected.
God if I could find a husband exactly like Forrest I would be so happy. Traveling the world exploring and having the time of our lives and finding extinct animals! How fun!
I’m from Uzbekistan and it’s sad so see how habitat destruction(driven by human greed like always) resulted in the loss of many amazing animal species 😢
Sir im 100% sure that the first animals delcourt's sticky Toed gecko are commonly found in our homes in Mizoram, North-east India where these types of creatures used to lived in our house in the hidden place and used to eat insects like small moths and crickets , I hope you came to our place and check it out , lots of love from Mizoram,India
Do you think any of these animals could still be out there?
Yes..! I believe that you... forrest... could find they 🔥❤️
Probably
Any new shows coming out soon? Really love to watch them! I’m going into the field of environmental studies, probably with a minor in wildlife or conservation.
Forest I will be more than happy if you could answer my question about what your thoughts are on the tree lobster
I wish more people would realize how important every creature is on this planet. The only species destroying the planet is us. And the powers at be don't want to make a true change.
Forest, we need your show back. Loved watching you and your team go out and search for extinct creatures
Oh man, I loved that show! You are absolutely right, the world needs that show back!
Love anything he does!!
Don't encourage this imposter of a scientist. See for yourself - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forrest_Galante#Criticism
What show ???
@@ryanmood5388 extinct or alive on animal planet
Such an underrated channel, love all ur stuff forest watched ( and loved) extinct or alive. You even inspired me to become a zoologist! Ty forest
Congrats! I'm hoping to get my master's degree in Zoology :) right now I'm aiming for a bachelor's degree in wildlife conservation
@@Foxtrot12345 GL to you. Hope u accomplish your goals!
@@Moon_TMNS Thank you! I wish you the best of luck as well :)
In 10 months almost 750.000 people subscribed thats a great rating
How do you spell his name wrong, not just once, but TWICE, when it’s literally right in front of your face. Come on, dude.
I hope you learn to read before attempting to seek a zoology career
My dad should be on here
Lol😂😂😂😂
Well thats sad
😂@@S_Tadija
4/10
He faked his death to get away from you.
Where is Jeremy Wade we need him to find the Fish
He caught em all
I was thinking exactly the same thing.
That would be an amazing collaboration/crossover special
He needs to be on a Joe Rogan episode.
We need em all
Extinct or alive with Jeremy Wade,fish edition
"FISH ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Need that in my life
That 100% needs to happen.
Love river monsters!
"I told you, I'm retired."
"One last job, Mr. Wade. One last job."
*To be continued*
As a commercial fisherman myself… the deeper fish go, the oilier they can get… the fat catfish most definitely is going to be in the deepest parts
Just look for the oil slick… 😂
Are you ever gonna go and search for extinct creatures again or is the show completely over?
That's a good quest
It’s expensive as hell. I doubt the funding will available.
Yeah
he’s currently raising money to go on another thylacine exhibition in papua new guinea i believe
@@callummck ok I hope I loved that show

He made a video on the tasmanian tiger and he thinks it's still alive !

Yes, I believe they are still out there. Hiding in plain sight.
@@kylediagon5444 the japanese wolf is another species that are out there! Sightings, howls have been recorded and photos have been taken!
@@luisfelipesilvasampaio7922 true as well
Bring back extinct or alive!! That show was awesome
That bat drawing was pretty funny, it’s shaped like a big Tylenol.
Wait did the Māori kill off like what could of been the biggest land bird, eagle and gecko? Damn
Our species had caused the extinction of hundreds of animals and it's not getting any better with our destruction of the environment.
I dont think we killed it off per say, they just real good at hiding gotta know where to look and how to keep it quiet
@@simplylethul99% of all species became extinct before humans even existed
Europeans killed more.
Māori’s have big appetites, not surprising
i would bring a load of disposable cameras and give them to all the local people i could and encourage them to try to get pics of these rare creatures in return for money or something to get confirmation of their existence
That’s a really good idea
Great idea
💡
No because why hasn’t any researchers done this?
They might try to fake it then unfortunately. Worth a shot I suppose.

@@Garfunkleandntheshplitz thanks.
Yes , happy late bday!
@silverseen8300 Thanks, champion.
Happy belated birthday! Really curious if that was a mass extinction event.
Are you bring existed or alive back? One of the best shows ever!!!!
The fat catfish is adorable and hilarious
bro got that sonaria pfp 🗿
@@jans_bro knows what sonaria is 🗿
I love it, it's so square and fat.
That’s what she said
It looks like a large intestine with fins.
You should do video for Balkan Lynx. Less than 40 individuals is estimated that stil exist in Serbia, N. Macedonia, Albania, Greece and Montenegro.
Not in Greece sadly. It’s not a species though, just a subspecies categorised differently mostly because of it’s specific geographic location. From what I understand it’s pretty identical to the eurasian lynx
@@sterkar99 I didnt know for Greece. I was thinking that there are small number of lynxes in Greece. Sad...
If i ever hit the lotto bro, i would legit fund your quest 100% Forrest is doing gods work. I support it 1000%
Did you buy tickets this week?
@fenrirgg yeah
@@nightcedargarden good lol
One born every minute
He would 100% take your money !

played another video to check it
yeah its the video
yeah same
Yep
You're not the only one. It was driving me nuts.

If only there were a show that did a great job finding animals that may be extinct or alive.
I remember the show. I thought about it a lot but never could find it. I’m so happy to find your RUclips and see you’re still on this journey!
love this channel . thanks forrest
Your rediscovery of the Zanzibar leopard was absolutely wonderful..
Totaly faked by insert editing existing Leopard footage taken elsewhere and before.
Wake up mate !
These are like my favorite internet videos! Educational and entertaining! Well done good sir!
If the animals are so rare that people can’t locate them easily, they should be left alone. They are on the verge of extinction.
I miss the Kauai O’O Bird… its Mating call was so beautiful

The last straw for the Carolina parakeet was poisoning because they had a habit of twisting green fruits (apples, peaches) off trees in orchards.
I love attention brought to the Carolina Parakeet, but he is searching for living animals (or ghosts of them) not actually extinct animals

That catfish has got to still be out there in that lake. Most likely, nobody is fishing for this catfish anyway.
Love this stuff wish you still had funding for this maybe some other network would take it on.
Love the video. A region specific series like this would be amazing
recently (2023) the dna of the kawekaweau was sequenced and it was discovered that it was from new Caledonia, not NZ sadly, it would be cool it it was the lost kawekaweau from legend but it sadly is not

Now what if they were declared
extinct in order to protect them!
Polynesians really just casually did as much damage to wildlife as europeans did 💀
People like Galante makes more people like Galante, this guy is awesome
Seriously ?
Can we rename the fat catfish to the fatfish?
Or fat bish fish
"Trout are voracious feeders of smaller fish." They're also egg eaters. The best bait for trout is fake fish eggs.

Hey Forest! Love you channel and shows I was wondering if you were going to release another season of extinct or alive? I’ve rewatched so many times and you’re so good at explaining different things about animals it’d be awesome!
if rediscovered, that catfish would start a body positivity movement and an appeal to be called elsewise
What are the chances that the bullneck seahorse is just a single malformed specimen of another species rather than its own species?
Bro. That gecko is the most perfect pet ever… why isn’t it still alive😭 I actually want one so badly
I love these videos you put out man! I’m a big fan of your work!!!!
You may miss Japanese wolf
This video was amazing! We need more videos like this. You should make it a series here on RUclips!
Gotta catch em all!
PLEASE DO MORE SHOWS. I LOVE WHAT YOU DO
Im gonna live to the day i see these animals comeback
I miss your show, man! I hope you'll give us a third season!

Coming from new Zealand there is no "Maori country" and there are plenty of DOC (department of conservation) workers that go to the most remote forested areas in order to hunt possums, wild cats, deer and pigs to preserve native wildlife
Though, it's still possible that species is not fully extinct
The real problem is Forrest not calling the gecko by the Maori name instead of the name a European who didn't discover the animal calling it after himself
I can't wait to see you look for the Tasmanian tiger
No thanks

If a starving native kills an endangered animal for sustenance, I would not consider that poaching.

Gigarcanum delcourti, formerly Hoplodactylus delcourti, is an extinct species of gecko in the family Diplodactylidae. It is the largest known of all geckos, with a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 37 cm (14.6 in) and an overall length (including tail) of at least 60 cm (23.6 in).
Yeah please anti poachers protocols soon.
That's just an animal conservationist that you give a gun
I feel like a really good point to try and find presumed extinct species is to help get an idea of what will happen to already endangered species that would really benefit to being protected.
Wow I’m first
That preserved oily catfish looks like, as Napoleon Dynamite would say, “a decroaded piece of crap!”
I did research on the Miss Waldron's Red Colobus & it says they're doing a conservation plan. So they still exist
Galantaaaay has claimed he's rediscovered many animals that were still extant !
He's a shyster !
As a saffa, hearing the way Forrest says 'Years' is most satisfying
The giant gecko makes me feel like buying auto insurance? This big guy would save me 50% or more on car insurance!
For the first time, I subscribed to a channel watching only the first 15 seconds of a video.
God if I could find a husband exactly like Forrest I would be so happy. Traveling the world exploring and having the time of our lives and finding extinct animals! How fun!
I’m from Uzbekistan and it’s sad so see how habitat destruction(driven by human greed like always) resulted in the loss of many amazing animal species 😢

I feel like the lace monitor over here in Australia would devour that lizard in one go 😂
I wonder when Extinct or Alive will be back? And if so is it possible if the gladiator Atlas Bear is still alive in North Africa
If the Fat Catfish were to be rediscovered, would it be called plus sized catfish or big boned catfish?
The fatfish
