Exploring the African bush from wrangle snakes to the archipelago, Forrest Galante dedicates his passion for the exploration of animals as a wildlife biologist and American outdoor adventurer. He is the youngest person to lead an international canoe safari down the Zambezi River in Africa.
Also a reality TV star, Forrest appeared on the TV shows like Discovery Channel’s Naked and Afraid and Animal Planet’s docu-series Extinct or Alive. With his unique explorations, he focused on scouting the animals who are on the brink of extinction.
Likewise, he made media appearance on Shark Week, The Joe Rogan Experience, The TODAY Show, and The Nightly Show. His long experience in the sphere of TV and wildlife adventure earned him fame and fortunes, but the total net worth of Forrest is yet under the review.
Wiki(Age)- Family
Forrest Galante, who is a native of California, was born on the 31st of March in 1988. At an early age, the wildlife biologist moved to Harare, Zimbabwe with his family where he grew up in his family farmhouse alongside his younger sister.
The two siblings often traveled safari in the African bush with their mother, who was one of Africa’s female safari guides. His grandparents were also an adventurer who settled in southern Africa before Africa was fully explored. His grandfather Gerald Summerfield proved the existence of coelacanth, which was believed to have extinct 60 million years ago.
Talking about his education, Forrest is a graduate of UC Santa Barbara from where he obtained a degree in biology in 2009. He pursued a career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork upon his return in California. Currently, the American outdoor adventurer is 31 years old.
He is a passionate freediver, conservationist, biologist, and naturalist.
Married/ Wife
It is no surprise that the man who explores the exotic wildlife biology, Forrest is married to his high school sweetheart Jessica Evans. The duo tied a knot in August 2015 on Stocking Island in the Bahamas. Unlike the traditional church wedding, the iconic ceremony saw the combination of wildlife and adventure theme.
His wife Jessica donned a swimming costume as her bridal dress, and with Forrest, they went swimming in their wedding outfits. At the island, the adventure-loving couple made new friends to a couple of aquatic animals like an iguana, aquatic bovine, Southern Stingrays, and nurse sharks. Guests savored five-days-party enjoying a feast of spear-fish and playing with island’s swimming pigs and iguanas.
After their magical day, the lovebirds spend a romantic time driving through Canada and went to South America for their honeymoon. His wife Jessica is a science teacher who also likes adventure and wildlife.
They both met during their high school days at Coast Union High School while Jessica was visiting Cayucos. They were engaged in 2013.
As of now, Forrest and his wife are in a relationship for more than one and a half decade.
