Rediscovering an animal doesn’t mean your average Joe is ever gonna be able to get anywhere near them. They’re still remarkably rare. And it’s more important to be aware of their existence so funding can be stabled to protect their habitat
@@g4do uh… no. Without our help theyre barely surviving and will more than likely go extinct… hence why they’re already considered extinct cause their populations are so low they’re never seen. Conversely when we take action it saves species. The black footed ferret, California condor, scimitar oryx, etc have all been saved from the brink of extinction via conservation efforts.
@ztlabraptor211 I'll give you an example even you can understand. The Jarawa people on the andemen islands were living peacefully for thousands of years without anyone's help . India and white people found them... now they're going extinct because of tourism.

@DiscoveryChannel- why aren't you giving Forrest a permanent contract and allowing, and funding his honorable explorations into this world we live in???
because he is a fraud. He didn't rediscover those extinct species. Go and do some research. Where is the fking Thylacine skull he has that was to be donated for research?
Forrest! Have you seen Josh Gates hunt for the Yeti? They found bear footprints! The expert told Josh "The weird thing is; the only bears this big in the area went extinct."
I think there is always the possibility that people lie and deny the presence of a rare animal, so that they either can protect it from poachers, or else so that they don't have to comply with laws about endangered species. I'm not saying this is legal or right, but it happens. Two possible examples: I am a Thai national park ranger and I find a rare sun bear in a remote area, but say there are none, so that no one harrasses them, or kills them for their gall bladders and other body parts to "enhance" human body parts. Second example. I am a farmer and one day, I find an allegedly extinct animal on my farm. I tell no one, because I am afraid that authorities will seize my land and home as critical habitat and turn me out on the street.
Yeah fr, there's even a strange disease that is affecting and killing them (&other fish) currently and no one knows what it is, where it's a virus, bacteria, prion, etc...nobody knows yet.
@Cassiopea525 I have heard theories of it potentially still being alive in remote areas of Papua New Guinea. Especially after the auwo rediscovery after 140 years.
i saw a baby sawfish only about 2-3ft long in some of the backwaters in Islamorada in 2012, i was fishing for redfish and its rostrum got wrapped around my line for a second. i am a marine biologist now but at that time i was young. i definitely believe they are still around the keys AND in the gulf of Mexico.

Lewis and Clark referred to the Plains Grizzly as the "white bear" - presumably because their fur had been so bleached out by the sun that they looked white from a distance. (When I first read this as a child, I thought they had encountered Polar Bears in South Dakota. 😅)
Most rare animals are in remote parts of the world in third world countries. How can animal conservation be accomplished when the locals don’t care about how rare they are and will just kill and eat anything they can find anyways?
The concept of "buy-in" is important. If you can persuade local people that the wildlife can benefit them more than it hurts them, that really helps. Some countries successfully have implemented ecotourism or other income generating plans for local communities. If people know that you care about them and their need to feed their kids, they are more willing to listen to you talk about saving trees or wildlife.

In the early 2000's I swear I caught a saw tooth off the coast in Fernandina Fl. We was probably about 15miles off the coast. I never knew it was an extinct species until now.
Is the Ivory Billed Woodpecker on your list!? I'd swear on Fern's shell, that I saw one of them in SC about a decade ago. I remember hearing it first, and thinking it was a Pileated Woodpecker at first because of how big it was.

In the seventies, my father saw 2 mexican grizlies (Oso Plateado) beiing transported alive in a cage. They were bound to Chihuahua, to be released in a sierra near Nuevas Casas Grandes.
I got a funny story about extinction bs. I lived in a cabin on the river south of Chicago years ago. I was out doing something in my yard when I was approached by man saying he was a professor from Northwestern University. He asked me if I'd seen any large woodpeckers around? I said yes, I see one at least once a week. His eyes got bigger, and he said that the woodpecker was extinct. I said no it's not extinct. I see it all the time. He seemed befuddled. If I remember correctly the professor had been coming to that area for years looking for the extinct woodpeckers. Lastly, I don't feel like I "rediscovered" anything since I'm sure everyone in that area had probably heard or saw it.

I have heard stories of woodland caribou being sighted in the woods of Maine despite being declared extinct a century ago and two failed re introduction attempts. Those stories were told to me over 30 years ago. Might be worth a little research even if it is a long shot.

The Sawtooth is still a thing it might be migratory but, we have signs if your fishing and accidently catch one your suppose release it and call Florida fish and wildlife immediately. I have friends who dove and said the same thing while hunting for Lion fish
He not referring to the Smalltooth sawray (Pristis pectinata) that you still see in Florida, he's referring to the Largetooth sawray (Pristis pristis).
You should check out blacktiph fishing, 8 years ago he and the a few members of the now googan squad, caught a 15-17ft sawfish they estimated around 700lbs. This was off the coast of Florida. Super cool video and awesome to see. They are definitely still out there!
"Platido" isn't a spanish word, maybe you meant "Oso Pleateado" ("Silver Bear") or "Oso Platinado" ("Platinum Bear" if translated literally but could also be translated as "Silvery Bear")... Or even maybe "Oso de Plata" ("Bear of Silver") or "Oso de Platino" ("Bear of Platinum")

I wanted to be a crypto zoologist when I was younger. I have an aunt that helped discover the mega mouth shark in the 70s. You my friend are living the life!
When my brother was in grade 1 studying dinosaurs, the teacher asked the class if anyone knew what extinct meant. My brother raised his hand and said. "That it doesn't stink anymore?“ I thought that was a pretty clever answer.
There is also a Very Strong case for the Atlas Lion to still exist while there has been no photographs since the 50s they still occasionally find fresh tracks and poop in the Atlas ranges!!! 🤠👍
That's a cripted he don't do cripteds like the small monkey person you're referring to or big foot. Dude goes and looks for known species that were declared extinct to try and find them, we don't know for sure if the small monkey people are real or not. There's only internet proof no concrete evidence like bones or fossils to prove that it was once here on earth and not just on your screens.
I have seen the sawfish before, no idea if it was that particular species or not but I used to go fishing with my grandfather in southern Florida all the time and we caught one. Was super cool to see. This was back in the mid 90's.
I have a hard time understanding how a species can be endangered for decades after not being seen, then another species like the Baiji is classified as extinct after only 4 years after its last sighting.
@jacobcloyd8486 The Baiji was never declared extinct, but instead functionally extinct. Which means that a population does still exist, but it is so small or fragmented that it no longer plays a role in its ecosystem or that they need outside help to repopulate. There was even a sighting with video proof in May this year.
It's just that he has adopted a more or less us American English accent, so in this video in particular, I noticed he reverts back to South African quite a bit. He must have just had a visit home @@joshswickard7128
I very much enjoy this series covering extinct animals and I’ve not heard of anyone who is better at finding them than you. I’m interested to know how many of these extinct species, of the hundreds you indicated that may be out there, do you believe might be located in Indonesia. Specifically, on what islands do you believe each species may exist? Thanks, I look forward to your reply.
please bring back extinct or alive. i know you get this comment a lot but it was seriously a great show that brings awareness to both non extinct and extinct animals.
Don't wanna be that guy but the Mexican Silver Bear isn't it's own species but instead a subspecies of Ursus arctos, the Brown Bear. DNA suggested they might even have just been grizzly bears.
@@user-qq7of6ct7t Two Brown bear subspecies are the same species, Ursus arctos horribilis and Ursus arctos nelsoni, are subspecies of the same species. Subspecies is below species, but above locality.
@@zebedeemadness2672 so by your logic a quaga is a regular zebra? A sub species still has evolutional differences yea they might be the same from looking at them but still have differences that's why they have a different name
I deeply subscribe to the idea that as soon as man declares a creature extinct, usually after hunting dries up, that the species will go into territory that man won't go due to adaption turning the dial up to 11 and avoid man, that noisy, smelly, easy to spot but can kill from out of nowhere, passing it down to the young.
How has no big media company chucked you a couple mill to make this into a series call it de-extinct or something would be pure gold and do good for the animals 👊
I used to live in South West Texas not far from the border with Mexico, Jefferson Davis Mountains to be exact, which is home to a small population of Black bears. Every once in a while ranchers and hunters would report finding bear prints much larger than the prints of black bear.
My family took a trip down to FL recently, Gulf coast. My dad and I were fishing under a bridge and caught what I believe to be a small tooth sawfish. I'm not entirely sure if it was a small tooth or large tooth. I have some photos of it. He/she was safely returned to the ocean and we reported it to local authorities. An amazing experience to have seen one in person.
First off love the show we need guys like you out there showing us all the species. Lost Steve Irwin and David Attenborough is retired pretty much after a great career. But on the species I think it’s very possible. I’m really hoping they’re all out there. Didn’t they find a sawtooth shark in Florida.

Yeah, criticizing China isn't going to get you anywhere with the CCP.
He didn’t say anything untrue though
@@jasonburke3620 No, but the CCP are hyper sensitive regarding anything negative towards China. He should have said he was looking for the animal and left it at that.
And they know full well that Three Gorges has wiped out whatever was left of that animal, it finished the job that pollution started.
We need to stop fearing a bunch of Communists that can't even run their country.
@@Nobody-00000 There was a sighting with video proof this year. However, Three Gorges does not help in finding remaining animals and helping them recover though.
Congrats on 1 mil! Hope that helps get more funding for more expeditions
Alternate title : 5 trips i’d like to get sponsored for.
Always a joy to watch your and your partners adventures. Glad to say UK TV shows a lot of your programs. Love to all involved in making your films.
I love how all this is possible but confirmation of wild big cats in the Uk got laughed at
As they should
Love when you do these videos!
The Ungava brown bear seems like a good candidate too
As a waterfowl hunter, I’d love to see the pink headed duck make a comeback.
Imagine that. The honorable China says nah, no pollution.
Right guy.
Awesome video!!!! Do them all!! Ill will watch. New sub!
From Sub number 1M congratz love your work
0:22 man, the Ontario crocodile/alligator 😅
What? Lol
@@matthewdEntremont you haven't heard about Canadian gaters or crocks?
@BurchellAtTheWharf I mean I have one as a pet but it's not native lmao
@@matthewdEntremont that's minty.
But a few hundred years ago, in the wilderness that was once in Ontario, had wild gators.
But as a NS fool, I'm hoping they "migrate" to this sweet place I like to call Canadian Flavored Florida 🤣
Too cold for them in winter, no way.
keep up the great work! Love what you do
16:46 I live in SW Florida (the West Coast of Florida on the Gulf) and have seen Some saw head ray shark things. A couple times
Pleeeeaaase Forest we need more Extinct or Alive
“What pollution there’s no pollution”
Love the video. Keep em coming!❤
The Sawtooth is still a thing it might be migratory but, we have signs if your fishing and accidently catch one your suppose release it and call Florida fish and wildlife immediately. I have friends who dove and said the same thing while hunting for Lion fish
He not referring to the Smalltooth sawray (Pristis pectinata) that you still see in Florida, he's referring to the Largetooth sawray (Pristis pristis).
Going into the wilds in search of declared extinct species. What a cool job.
At least these are far more plausible than the stellars sea cow.
Love this channel
2000 a year!? That’s crazy! That means it would only take 84 years to wipe out everything! 😱😱
We discover about 16k a year, plus speciation, so things ain't going that fast
Please keep showing them all and thank you 😊
Do you think the Schomburgk's deer is still alive?
You should check out blacktiph fishing, 8 years ago he and the a few members of the now googan squad, caught a 15-17ft sawfish they estimated around 700lbs. This was off the coast of Florida. Super cool video and awesome to see. They are definitely still out there!
"Platido" isn't a spanish word, maybe you meant "Oso Pleateado" ("Silver Bear") or "Oso Platinado" ("Platinum Bear" if translated literally but could also be translated as "Silvery Bear")... Or even maybe "Oso de Plata" ("Bear of Silver") or "Oso de Platino" ("Bear of Platinum")
I was thinking the same thing. Likely plateado
He’s probably using Chicano Spanish. Their Spanish is atrocious. Some of them think Spanglish words are actually Spanish. When I moved from Argentina to Chicago I was appalled, many second and third generation Mexican Americans would try to correct me with words that were absolutely Not Spanish

@tecumsehcristero nah, I think it's a gringo trying, give Jack his jacket
@@LindaC616 🤣🤣🤣
Whe need you back, on the Discovery Channel with a new awesome season!
ccp will never let you freely film
After video from Forrest let goooooo! Bro I was just done watching football live. And I saw you live too 😂💀❤
Didn’t blacktip H catch a sawfish? Or was it a small tooth sawfish? Also you should do one about green sturgeon!!
It was a large tooth the small tooth is a different shaped pectoral fins
I wanted to be a crypto zoologist when I was younger. I have an aunt that helped discover the mega mouth shark in the 70s. You my friend are living the life!
ironic thing about babirusa is the one factor who kill it is its self, because at some babirusa the middle tusk keep growing and pierce itself
That only really happens in zoos, wild babirusa generally don't live long enough for that and it doesn't affect their breeding.
When my brother was in grade 1 studying dinosaurs, the teacher asked the class if anyone knew what extinct meant. My brother raised his hand and said. "That it doesn't stink anymore?“ I thought that was a pretty clever answer.
Please can you search for the atlas bear in Algeria There is some video of it roaming the internet.I think you'll find it there
There is also a Very Strong case for the Atlas Lion to still exist while there has been no photographs since the 50s they still occasionally find fresh tracks and poop in the Atlas ranges!!! 🤠👍
Love the channel.
9:38 Anotha CCP Classic
Love your videos.
Should try and find the Orang Pendek
That's a cripted he don't do cripteds like the small monkey person you're referring to or big foot. Dude goes and looks for known species that were declared extinct to try and find them, we don't know for sure if the small monkey people are real or not. There's only internet proof no concrete evidence like bones or fossils to prove that it was once here on earth and not just on your screens.
@@ethanladue2745Indonesian bigfoot
I think he did go looking for it
@LindaC616 Yes, it was curled up in a cave on a nest of human bones.
Love that you share your knowledge about these animals
Keep up the good work
This has middle school tv on wheels vibes.
I have seen the sawfish before, no idea if it was that particular species or not but I used to go fishing with my grandfather in southern Florida all the time and we caught one. Was super cool to see. This was back in the mid 90's.
I have a hard time understanding how a species can be endangered for decades after not being seen, then another species like the Baiji is classified as extinct after only 4 years after its last sighting.
@jacobcloyd8486 The Baiji was never declared extinct, but instead functionally extinct. Which means that a population does still exist, but it is so small or fragmented that it no longer plays a role in its ecosystem or that they need outside help to repopulate. There was even a sighting with video proof in May this year.
I’ve seen so many of your interviews and documentaries and just realized I didn’t even know your name. May I call you Mr Gump? Great video bro!
Forest Galante is his name.
why did you pronounce ranch like that?
Probably because he wasn't raised in the States.
You don't want to hear him say zebra if you don't like accent lol.
It's just that he has adopted a more or less us American English accent, so in this video in particular, I noticed he reverts back to South African quite a bit. He must have just had a visit home @@joshswickard7128
I very much enjoy this series covering extinct animals and I’ve not heard of anyone who is better at finding them than you. I’m interested to know how many of these extinct species, of the hundreds you indicated that may be out there, do you believe might be located in Indonesia. Specifically, on what islands do you believe each species may exist?
Thanks, I look forward to your reply.
please bring back extinct or alive. i know you get this comment a lot but it was seriously a great show that brings awareness to both non extinct and extinct animals.
Don't wanna be that guy but the Mexican Silver Bear isn't it's own species but instead a subspecies of Ursus arctos, the Brown Bear. DNA suggested they might even have just been grizzly bears.
Then don’t be
He just said animals not species.
Sub species are still different species even though they can interbreed
@@user-qq7of6ct7t Two Brown bear subspecies are the same species, Ursus arctos horribilis and Ursus arctos nelsoni, are subspecies of the same species. Subspecies is below species, but above locality.
@@zebedeemadness2672 so by your logic a quaga is a regular zebra? A sub species still has evolutional differences yea they might be the same from looking at them but still have differences that's why they have a different name
Hell yea Forrest 🔥🔥
I would love a weekly video with 5 animals each.
I deeply subscribe to the idea that as soon as man declares a creature extinct, usually after hunting dries up, that the species will go into territory that man won't go due to adaption turning the dial up to 11 and avoid man, that noisy, smelly, easy to spot but can kill from out of nowhere, passing it down to the young.
How has no big media company chucked you a couple mill to make this into a series call it de-extinct or something would be pure gold and do good for the animals 👊
I used to live in South West Texas not far from the border with Mexico, Jefferson Davis Mountains to be exact, which is home to a small population of Black bears. Every once in a while ranchers and hunters would report finding bear prints much larger than the prints of black bear.
RIP to the guy in the ranch that gave you the report on the Silvery Bear. Hopefully his death won't be in vain.
My family took a trip down to FL recently, Gulf coast. My dad and I were fishing under a bridge and caught what I believe to be a small tooth sawfish. I'm not entirely sure if it was a small tooth or large tooth. I have some photos of it. He/she was safely returned to the ocean and we reported it to local authorities. An amazing experience to have seen one in person.
First off love the show we need guys like you out there showing us all the species. Lost Steve Irwin and David Attenborough is retired pretty much after a great career. But on the species I think it’s very possible. I’m really hoping they’re all out there. Didn’t they find a sawtooth shark in Florida.
