Extinct or Alive

My daughter loves this show. As a tween, shes loves anything with animals and science, and Forrest has captured her attention with just enough background info that shes learning biology, ecology, and geography and loving it. Has had a couple of "teaching moments" in the show, but so completely better than other the alternative types of shows she could be watching.

I have to honestly say that each episode has me glued to my chair. Each episode goes so quick because it brings something new and is thoroughly entertaining. Not only am I entertained but I generally learn a thing or two from Forrest. Plus I believe what we see and hear can help people to believe in the chance of finding a supposed extinct species. I mean you never truly know and almost anything is possible.

Each episode focuses on one particular animal that has been determined to be extinct. So they go there to research and look for the animal with the hopes of getting evidence that they exist still. If they are able to get evidence and they can provide funding to assist the animal to stay alive. Along the way Forrest will also find other animals that you can see and learn about too.

Hopefully most people that watch will at least slightly change their ways for the betterment of the planet and our wonderful animals. It's sad to see how many living things have gone and will continue to go extinct due to humans.

The show is fantastic and they all deserve kudos for a job well done.

Forrest you are the man!! Keep it up!! Props to the crew and everyone behind the scenes too! You all make it happen! Lastly, thanks to Animal Planet for having this kind of programming!!!

I really love this show if you like animals it's a must watch, bring season 3 already

Extinct or alive has everything a tv show needs. It's informative, educational, exciting, influential, and has a host with an undeniable passion for what he does. What sets this show apart from Bigfoot/Alien shows is that it generates results. Forest is a trained/educated biologist who does extensive research that in multiple instances leads him to rediscover a previously "extinct" animal. He isn't running around looking for something that was written on a 500 year old piece of paper by god knows who, or an oversized ape that has no scientific backing. He is looking for and finding REAL ANIMALS. This show is not only great to watch but it is great for modern day biology and conservation. It's a breath of fresh air among among all the trash currently on television. Keep doing what you do Forest.

In our age of convenience and disposable everything Forrest Galante is a true champion of our natural world. He is an advocate for species that need our help. Besides all the great wildlife info, the show is fresh and fun! I am always excited for a new episode. I hope it stays on the air for many years!
