*Jurassic Park question at **18:34*

The best wildlife dude since Steve Irwin

I just see Galante pop up everywhere all of a sudden, He's great!

I love that this dude is getting famous !!

He didn't use the hammer analogy!!

Never underestimate the impact of charismatic scientists reaching out to the public! As a kid I would watch nothing but Animal Planet and Discovery.... fast forward 20 years and I work for one of my childhood heroes I would watch on TV! :D

I love passionate people like him. There is NOTHING more important than the natural world. If we lose that we won't have to worry about getting it back, because we'll disappear with it.

So did he come straight from Joe Rogan's place to come here?

Fell in love with this guys knowledge when he was on Joe Rogans Podcast last year or whenever it was, glad Collider actually got someone outside of the Film/TV Media circle. Also how do anyone of them not know that Mosquitoes carry deadly diseases?

This is one of my favorite videos collider has ever had on the channel.

Forrest: “It’s not the big things that are scary” Hippopotamus: hold my stats

My kids have listened and watched his podcasts with Joe Rogan and are enthralled. I have so much respect for him. Thank you Mr. Galante.

His show Extinct or Alive is amazing! Some of the results are astounding.

Damn, I could listen to him talk about this stuff for hours. He's clearly very passionate and breaks things down well while also being likable. Best of luck to him and his crew, their doing honest work.

This man brought both these ladies home. Props my man 👏🏼

MORE. GUESTS. LIKE. THIS.

Ngl from the way he looks I was expecting him to say something like: 'I've killed a croc with my bare f*ckn hands mate'

First time seeing this podcast but good job guys! Podcasts with multiple hosts can sometimes lead to dominating the conversation and not allowing the guest to speak enough, but you guys have a great balance. Big fan of Forrest Galante, always fascinating to hear him speak about stuff.

So thrilled that Collider Live is starting to expand their range of guests they're getting on the show. I know Dorina has mentioned working to get more people from the music industry on the show - that would be so cool! Collider Live continues to rock, this was a great interview, I hope Forrest comes back!

He sold himself short. He also the New Foundland Wolf for the first time in 100 years.

22:08 For just a split second I thought he was gonna say Thylacoleo 🤣🤣🤣 I haz been playin too much Ark 🤦🏽‍♀️

I'm a hunter and animal guy, so respect these men of research and discovery.

If you're here for the Jurassic Park question: TL;DW Answer: Yes. Probably in our lifetime.

I love how she just starts typing away when he mentions the Ted talk.

This was a great interview. As a bio tech major, I loved this interview. With advancement in genetic engineering like crispr, we will be able to bring back extinct animals back with just little dna thanks to the ability of amplifying dna using pcr

This guy is legit

You know you’re gunna be an outdoorsy type of guy when your name is Forest

I wish he had programs on TV. He is great.

It's good to see good people getting famous! Also, LOVE Collider!

41 and now I want to grow up to be a biologist. Forest work is fascinating.

A - DNA can't be preserved that long so regardless (of point B) it's impossible already. B - the mosquito species in the film didn't actually sustain itself on blood back in Dino times. C - the only way to feasibly do it would be to (in the future when we can read DNA like a book and combine/modify it at will) combine living animal DNA to bring about a new species that aesthetically looks and acts like a given Dinosaur species; ex. Deinonychus (what the raptors in the film actually are/should be called). You would need probably DNA from Ostrich (legs/hips/feathers), Eagle (behavior/talons/diet) & Monitor DNA (skin/skull shape/tail) (as well as possibly porcupine DNA for the quills), while somehow modifying the gene that controls growth (like people with gigantism) so it would be able to grow large enough. It wouldn't be spot-on and is technically an entirely new species, but it would be possible if we some day perfect genetic manipulation and cloning.

Oh yeah Ooooh Awwwe. That's how it starts, but later there's running and...screaming

Yes! Listen to him on Rogan- two great interviews wow such crazy stories!!

I want to see the mythical Jackalope in my lifetime.

This was a great interview!! He puts a smile on my face 🙂

He’s a great inspirational fella 👍🏻

Jack Horner (a world famous Paleontologist who also was a consultant on almost all of the Jurassic Films) has talked a lot about bringing a dinosaur back to life. He wrote a book called How To Build A Dinosaur (read a bit of it, super Interesting) and has done a TedTalk about it which you can find online. He says the De-extinct Dinosaur would be a Chickensaurus. Basically a De-evolved chicken that is designed to look like a dinosaur. Recently, DNA was found on a hadrosaur and a dinosaur head was found on amber pretty recently too. As exiting as this is, I hope scientist listen to Malcolm’s warnings before they make any decisions. Jack Horner also said that he thinks that the decision to bring back a Dino would largely depends on society rather than just scientist.

I kind of hope we bring back dinosaurs one day

I'm a firm believer that once I leave my home for the woods, mountains, or ocean I am no longer on the top of the food chain, I'm a trespasser in another animals territory. That's why I don't go to those places often except the beach because that's worth it to me.

Great guest, thank you

I don't know why the algorithm decided that I needed to watch this on April 28th, 2020, but I have to say I was not disappointed. Well played, KZfaq...

I think there are some great information here, although I would like to raise one point, animals like Coelacanth and Crocadiles do evolve and change over time, just much slower and on a smaller level because they are so well adapted to their environment. So while at a glance their modern structure looks very similar to their fossil from hundreds of millions of years ago, there are nevertheless, still small differences. All living creatures evolve, just the rate and scale of the evolution differs between species.

It’s a shame it took me to know about him till he found the crocodile to know about him but I am very glad I know of him. This man is the next Steve Erwin. And he needs to be a house hold name like Mr: Erwin.

Anyone know if this was an episode on iTunes? And if so what number?

He's such a great speaker and educator...

We were so preoccupied with wether or not we could, we didn't stop to think if we should.

He is really a super hero like they say. He is brave enough like Dr Brady Barr to get close to snakes and crocodiles and people who love animals are the pride of our species. What good can we do as humans if we don't use our brain to understand the other animals who took a different way to evolve than us? Animals are all wonderfull once we can understand how they feel and what makes them happy and the proof of this is our dogs and cats. We only have more intelligence than every animals but we loose to them in every other aspects. They are stronger,faster,more athletic and some of them can do things we only dream to do.

20:50 the issue is actually getting the ~100 million year old dna

He is so accurate. I am working on the same thing. Sir, I must collaborate with you.

Dinosaur de-extinction is a lot less likely than de-extinction in general. Passenger pigeons, thylacines, woolly mammoths, saber-toothed cats... all that may well come to pass. But not T. Rex, sadly. No intact non-avian dinosaur dna has yet been found, and it seems unlikely that it ever will. What's much more plausible is genetically modifying bird species to make them more dinosaur-like. But that would be a genetically modified bird, not an actual historical dinosaur.

This isn't a clip. This is legit half of the entire episode! Lol

So glad to see him places other than Rogan’s podcast... hate giving Joe the views but love listening to Forrest!

Since he brought up Ted talk and the hosts seem to not know that dinosaurs de-extinction is something that is currently happening, there is a Ted talk about it, with Paleontologist Jack Horner titled, "Jack Horner: Building a dinosaur from a chicken". He also was the paleontologist who consulted for scientific accuracy for the Jurassic Park/World films.

First time tuning in since Kristian left... These movie guys are either trying to be as interested in this as they think they should be, or they’re just really bad interviewers... “Um, what’s like the craziest place you’ve been to?”

Okay, my number one favorite movie is Jurassic Park and my number two favorite movie is jaws. I hear that this guy watched Jaws for the first time and went straight to the ending which absolutely breaks my heart because he has officially been robbed of a really wonderful movie night and going straight to the end of Jaws is probably the worst thing you can do. And I'm sure he's going to tear apart Jurassic Park but hopefully he's at least seen it first. Edit: as far as bringing back dinosaurs, I don't buy it. I absolutely think that we will bring back extinct animals. But I think we will bring back extinct animals that have gone into Extinction in our lifetime. Animals that we have been able to get significant amounts of blood and DNA from because we were prepared for it. Trying to get a complete DNA sequence on a dinosaur is just not something that's going to happen. Even if there was living tissue left in a fossil, even if we were able to get dna, that doesn't automatically mean that we can clone it. Because that DNA may not be anywhere near the complete DNA that we would need to be able to even attempt to bring them back. And the odds of us getting any type of source of DNA from something that died 65 plus million years ago is just not something I'm prepared to accept yet. Trust me I promise you I would love to see it but I don't see how it's even possible. I was listening to a geneticist talk and he said that it's essentially impossible to get what they would need DNA Wise from a fossil. But even if they were able to get a complete DNA strand from a fossil, that would be the easiest part. Everything else after that would be even harder there's no guarantee even if they had a full complete DNA strand that they would be able to clone a dinosaur. So the part that I'm sitting here saying there's no fucking way and pretty much every single expert has said there's no way we're going to get a full DNA strand, even if they did that would be the easy part. So if they do ever clone dinosaurs I don't think it's going to be in our lifetime. It's going to have to be way down the line when we figure out some ridiculous way that we can get it I don't know but I hope I'm proved wrong on that but I don't believe that I am. And it's funny as soon as she said Moby Dick I said thylacine. Cuz I saw that video I've never really seen this guy before except for the video on the thylacine and I knew he was going to say that haha I truly truly truly with every ounce of my being hope that this guy finds the thylacine. I remember seeing a show on it, a children's show with two brothers, in 1996 where they were talking about the Tasmanian tiger and since then I've hoped and hoped and hoped that we found one alive and I fucking hope so much that he finds one.

I can tell that this was just before he went on Rogan because he didn’t use the hammer metaphor 🙂

7:19 “For me the most dangerous stuff is the small stuff” ...well I guess he was right

As much as I enjoy his show and am glad to see supposed extinct animals getting rediscovered, I do have some issues with a few statements in the video: 1. Aside from the episode of Extinct or Live there is no evidence that the Caiman (subspecies) featured was ever considered extinct in the first place. 2. Coelacanths did not appear first appeared 409mya, not 666mya and have changed significantly since then. 3. Crocodilians have changed significantly since they first appeared, there were giant filter feeding species and small armoured herbivores in the Cretaceous, and active hoofed predatory crocodiles after the kpg mass extinction- the last terrestrial crocodile, Mekosuchus kalpokasi was exterminated by the Polynesians just 3,000 years ago. 4. Jurassic Park is not possible at all. DNA doesn't last long enough to be viable, currently the oldest possible age is 3mya, however cloning Dinosaurs is not impossible because Birds are living Dinosaurs so the Passenger Pigeon (which he mentioned is in the process of being cloned) will likely be the first example of an extinct Dinosaur resurrected.

This was cool. Good guest.

“Today you can buy meat made in a lab” “I’ll be launching an expedition mid-late 2020” -Corona enters chat

91 pets?!?! This dude is like a real life Ace Ventura!

The ark is coming! 😱 Just dont wake up in northzone 2 🤣

8:50 the way he laughed and switched back so quickly was kinda creepy.

Epoch park and recently Ice Age animals could be brought back. Dinosaurs and earlier proto mammals Dna is too old and not intact to use for cloning, however the other recent mammals of the distance past has a chance to be brought back, like ice age lions, Mammoths or a variation of a cold weather elephant's with Mammoth Dna.

Somtimes knowing makes it more scarier. Bears for me.

As the fictitious Ian from Jurassic Park said, scientists never stopped to ask, just because we can do it doesn’t mean we we should. Pigeons yes , dinosaurs??? No

“There’s not a lot of big things left.” .... damn :(

"We fear what we don't understand" Such as life.

Joe "hey you got one of my recurring guests on your show" Rogan

Forrest is amazing

Love what you do Forest keep it up man

To see the real and true Forrest please watch the show that he made when the graceful pilot whales were being massacred and slaughtered and he could not stop it. There were so many whole ( generations) family pods being butchered and completely wiped out. Forrest cried so hard. A ritual a city does each year by having fishermen go out and separate families of whales and herds them close to shore where then the bell rings and people go out with knives, whatever and everything and then slaughter whole families but so many are only wounded and to look into their eyes. It broke my heart but to see his heart breaking as well. In my mind, a true human being, a real man with a huge loving heart. This very segment - was filmed when he was over in Denmark ( Faroe Islands ) . Sadly, that this is done annually in this community when the pilot whales and other whales are on their migratory route.

The first time I went to Nantucket and a 19 foot great white swam in to the pond. Science fiction turned into science fact.

Problem is fossile is basically rock. No preserved DNA. But we can recreate woolly mammoths, but not a Stegosaurus. Maybe we could tweak an Emu someday in the future that has traits of a dinosaur(teeth, tail, hands), but it wont be anything from the past dinosaur extinction.

If animals can re-evolve into an extinct species from previous existing specimens. If given the right climate, it will supposedly happen

I'm scared of great white sharks because if you encounter one and it feels like nibbling on you there's not much you can do about it. Hence why I don't go pass waist-high water even in freshwater. And I'm not very tall.

I don't think you can actually buy meat made in a lab. The technology is there but it's expensive.

YES! I was hoping he said the Tasmanian Tiger lol.

extension is the norm. forrest a badass.

DNA has a shelf life. Any Dino DNA has long past that point, so no viable sample could be recovered.

You can tell that he still listens to Joe Rogan regularly

Wonderful work, most feel amazing. Just want to point out about crocodiles being sort of a perfect evolution for not changing, yes but don´t misstake that as there have not been other forms of crocadilian species trought the years. There have been som really diffrent looking creatures in the croc family. Look them up you will love them.

In relation the the Jurassic Park question, yes we can recreate dinosaurs and undoubtedly will at some point, however it will never be a Jurassic Park type deal because of ethics, it would be ethically wrong to reintroduce these animals into the modern world.

This was an interesting video and I can tell that Forrest really loves animals and what he does but I noticed some things he said in the video were wrong and as a budding paleontologist I want to address them. First, at 21:08 Forrest says that the Coelacanth is 666 million years old, this is wrong. I don't know if he misspoke and meant to say 66.6 million years old (which would still be wrong) or if he just has the wrong information or what, but he is wrong. 666 million years ago (mya) would put Coelacanth older than the Cambrian period (541-485.4 mya) which is around he time complex multicellular life diversified and went crazy. Coelacanth is nowhere near that old. We have Coelacanth fossils and related fossils dating as far back as the Devonian period (419.2-358.9mya) coming to the present day, but nothing like what Forrest stated. Eventhough Forrest is wrong, I will give the benefit of the doubt and say that he misunderstood something. Second, when they were talking about de-extinction, we cannot de-extinct dinosaurs. According to all of the scientific information I have seen, you cannot get DNA from fossils that old. DNA degrades like any complex molecule and does not maintain its form for millions of years and since dinosaurs went extinct roughly 65 mya, that's not happening. However, there are projects now that are trying to revive recently extinct species like the mammoth, the thylacine, the carrier pidgeon, etc. that could work but, like Forrest said, if we de-extinct those animals they will not be those animals anymore. They will be some kind of wierd hybrid of the extinct animal and an existing animal, not the original animal. There is a project that involves trying to recreate dinosaurs by genetically reverse-engineering birds into something that resembles a dinosaur that is a bird/dinosaur hybrid (that looks terrifying to be honest) that has been proposed as a way to bring dinosaurs back but, like Forrest stated before, they will not be the original animal. Third, crocodiles are not perfect in any way. They adapted to occupy a niche that was empty and did it very well. They stiil changed over time. Crocodiles did not exist for hundreds of millions of years, their ANCESTORS did. Crocodiles are around 55 million years old and exist to present day but their ancestors existed since the Triassic period (251.9-201.3) and were extremely diverse and occupied many many different niches, not just the semiaquatic predator niche. If you want to see some crazy body plans and weird/cool crocodile forms I suggest anyone who is interested look it up. Anyways, cool video, I'll try to check in on Forrest's show because it sounds cool. Good job.

Best way put. You won't get the dinosaur or animal of what they were once created to be, but something close to it. Dinosaurs in the movie involve frog I believe, or amphibian DNA so they won't be what they were when they were alive

the film about the tazmanian tiger with willem dafoe as the hunter is a quality little film.

What is super cool, unique, and awesome guest!!!! This just shows you that you don't always have to have the star of some scripted TV show or movie.

they breezed over the dinosaur de-extinction thing. The trouble is getting viable DNA from the animal that is extinct. Hard to do from the remains of something millions of years old.

But he forgot to tell that it would be impossible for dinosaurs. It’s impossible to extract DNA from a skeleton that had turned into stone

Dinosaurs, uh, had there shot and nature selected them for extinction.

When you are hunted by wolves and understand that feeling you will only know what's it's like to be the pray. There are some animals that will go out of there way to kill you

Forrest is the best.

This guy is great

Just go to Wilson’s prom and you will find the Tasmania tiger

1:30 we fear things that have big teeth and can eat us

God I love tiger sharks and regular tigers wolves my top three favorite animals that and puff/death adder beautiful animals thank u forrest for your research and your efforts in perserviing these creatures and finding the ones ppl thought were gone forever I wish I could do what you do dreams lol but keep up the amazing work u do thank u once again stay safe my friend

Never seen a cougar want doggie so bad.

The right answer was NO, you can NOT clone a dinosaur. It is biologically impossible.

Well no doubt about it. But like he says, its not that dinosaur it will be something new.

I mean,sharks are dangerous. This man can say that they are not, but they can kill so they are dangerous. They are pretty unpredictable.
