Mysterious Creatures with Forrest Galante

Wild animals don't need pharmaceuticals. They never did and never will. They did not evolve with them and it's a crime of animal abuse to inject them with these toxic poisons. This show is mildly entertaining and interesting but the total garbage propaganda completely ruins any good aspects of the show. I have a feeling the rest of the show is just as absurd. Honestly thr hosts aren't that likable and the show doesn't focus on some of the more interesting aspects of things covered. Cinematography is decent. But overall in the vein of the corny infotainment that plagues cable tv with modern production techniques and slightly better quality. It's easy to watch but designed for mouth breathers and marginally educational.

When I was a little kid, I traveled the world. One of the countries I visited, the people had an inflatable clown shaped type of weighted balloon. The whole point was to punch it senseless and it always came back up. That annoying toy is what this dude reminds me of! He is so dislikable, it hurts to watch this. I only watched one because I HAVE to watch anything "Peru". The guy is insufferable, has 0 camera presence but thinks he does... in spades! The result is a viewer just wanna play him like my aforementioned toy. Only hoping he never gets back up, and his show is given to someone not as inept as he is.

I was actualIy browsing for an intelligently-narrated animal show that I could watch while I do my work but landed on this instead. I've actually seen him before. Dude ANNOYS animals. Picks them up and talks to the camera while they are removed from their habitat and what they were doing, and won't stop yapping and won't put them back down. He does this in an irresponsible and ANNOYING way Steve Irwin himself never did. Whereas Irwin had a childlike naivete about him that was genuine and somewhat endearing, this millennial reeks of inauthentic and is aggravating to the core. He's trying too hard to copy those who went before him and it doesn't work.

In this show he brought in a wife he claimed to be his (I thought that would be a poser) and first saw her from long shot, and when I glanced back up from my computer, the camera was coming off her, as she'd been talking in close-up. What was THAT?! I had to rewind: the woman is so white and so blonde, I thought it was a white Jada for a moment there! But no: she does have hair pulled back it just looked flat and Q-ball weird there, for a sec.

Anyway, the animals are good but the dumb way he interacts with them tells me clearly he won't make it as long as Steve Irwin did. Too many mistakes. At the end of the Peru show, he's sitting with his kid IN FRONT OF HIM merely 3 feet from the bear, no cages or partitions anywhere! His wife too was there, what was she thinking?? She came across as less disingenuous as he did, and I didn't particularly care for the way he talked to her, but why allow this buffoon to put your kid's life in danger?! Clearly you are the adult, make yourself heard and take action to protect your son. (Can't believe he found a WOMAN willing to mate with him, yo!)

Anyway a very low score from me for this worthless d'wi 'ib and let's hope Animal Planet fires him before he gets eaten on camera. Actually, either way it happens, I just need this to happen and SOON!

Fascinating.

If you're a film junkie like myself then you'll appreciate the time and effort that Forrest Galante and everyone else put in to make this happen.

I enjoyed it. Not my place to say where it could have been improved. It is what it is.

Thank you.

I highly recommend the show instead of just wondering about the woods for a day or two and offered a bunch of speculations they actually go the extra mile and get you answers. For example far as I'm concerned they have conclusively proved that the Ozark howler is in fact red wolves. Pause it seems like they damn near get eaten by a bear or attacked by an alligator in boat or something every episode so watch while you can.

These haters are PETA idiots Who wouldn't know a red wolf from Doberman.

My husband and I are actually watching this program right now - about the 'Lake Chelan Dragon,' Very interesting but would make one request. When filming in any area, perhaps you might speak with the locals about correct pronunciation of our unique names in this area. Lake Chelan is not Lake Cha-lahn - it's Lake Che (like shu) lan (like man). And our The Dalles isn't The Dahls - it's The Dal (like 'Al') ls. Thanks so much - enjoying it!
