Always amazes me, like how Forrest points out with colonies of undiscovered walruses, how little we actually pay attention to what we document

pls do not stop these until you run out of animals to use, it's too good

I love the passion when Forrest talks about the stellar sea cow

I would have loved for them to talk about the preserved Moa claw they found in a cave in New Zealand. I still think it’s extinct, but it’s weird how the claw still had flesh on it.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!!!

Recently watched extinct or Alive season 2. I believe that many others would second this: please bring Mitch on one of the podcasts. He'd have lots of interesting things to say since he's worked with Forrest and Pat for a long time.

“They’ve got sheep” As an Aussie, this tickled me 😂

This was actually a lot more interesting than I expected it to be

The great auk was the original penguin-the name "penguin" was used for it and then when they went extinct was applied to the bird we call penguin today.

486 out of 600 claim that they have sighted the Steller Sea Cow.

I feel like it was weird where Forrest just finished talking about how extensive the auk's range is and discredits it because he looked in a couple faroe islands. Greenland has so many more islands that probably get looked at less

Thanks for another great daily dose of wildlife goodness. You guys rock.

There is a set of antlers from an Irish elk at chillingham castle down the road. And it spanned the entire 15ft fire place. It was terrifying massive compared to the tiny racks id taken off red stag and roe deer from up the road in Scotland.

When is your next show??? Love this, love your show. Most amazing information about animals anywhere!! Keep up the great work!!

I just found this and now I'm hooked keep it up yall are great

This is amazing & I could listen to 100's of these shows!

8:53 It is so sad that that bird was hunted to extinction. Seeing that taxidermied specimen next to a couple of humans really drives home just how huge these things actually were. That is a straight up dinosaur. I mean, technically birds ARE dinosaurs, but these Giant Moa, exemplify that more than any other modern bird I think. Put teeth in it's jaw and stick a tail on it and you've got a fairly large theropod. The size of this animal, and how recently it existed, also leads me to take the stories from the natives in the Amazon about, what they call, the "Mapinguari", a bit more seriously. The creature they describe sounds like the Giant Ground Sloth. They talk about this huge, 12-15 ft tall animal, that has backwards feet, and skin that arrows bounce off of. The backwards feet makes sense, because the way ground sloths walked, they walked on the sides of their feet, and this caused their toes and claws to curl under their feet and point backward. So their footprints would have looked like they had backwards feet. And then, because of a very well-preserved Giant Ground Sloth, "Megatherium", hide that was found in a cave, we know that they had osteoderms in their skin. These are, basically, small plates or nodules, of bone, that were under the skin and acted as armor. So it is very reasonable that their light-weight, hand-made bows, would have had a very hard time penetrating the hide of these animals. I don't think they exist anymore, but going by the stories of these natives, it sounds like they may have been around up until just a few generations ago. You can still find caves in the area that are, literally, FULL of dung from these animals. And it's not fossilized. It's just old and dried up. The elders of some of these villages say that they can still remember the sounds that the ground sloths made when they were trying to scare you away. They say that they make this very loud, bellow, or roar. There's even evidence in some of the caves of some tribes possibly domesticating some of these creatures, and sharing large caves with them. Or, at least domesticating the young, maybe until they got too big. I don't really know, but it is fascinating. I would love it if Forrest managed to find an extant population of Megatherium. That would be so cool.

This is the best youtube series please keep it going!

Guys this is what we need as people- fun , great info , lots of great things. Bravo ! This is why i love animals

I would love to hear about the megatherium. Forrets once talked about it on the joe Rogan podcast. And I would love to hear more

I’m a kiwi and I completely agree! I do like some of the cool birds we have but I’ve actually moved to Australia so I can have a pet tarantula lol!

Loving these extinct or alive clips

I just watched an old episode of Naked and Afraid. Forrest introducing himself by making techno sounds and dancing will keep me up for a few nights

Please, give us more of these!

Love these segments!

As an Australian living in New Zealand you are 100% correct💯😂

Loving the daily videos guys

Even though all these animals were from different habitats, they're all Forrest creatures.

Yes! Definitely keep this going!

Great segments gents keep them going. I’d like to know what current endangered species, if declared extinct, would absolutely suck the wind out of Forrest’s sails more than prohibition coming back.

The “Irish Elk” has elk in the name, looks like a moose, and is actually a deer, albeit a freaking juggernaut of a deer. I sure hope I live to be able to visit a de-extinction theme park with cloned animals like these.

Please Keep up the good videos guys! Love it!

I just came across this channel and the game and I freaking love it don’t stop doing it and the guy that knows what every animal is really knows his stuff to know about that many animals and the fact he knows about some of the animals that lived long ago but animals that normally people don’t really think about like the dinosaurs that is common to talk about to know so much about those not talked about is awesome he knows them from just a brief description of there history and place of origin without seeing a picture that takes a lot of research hats off to him

Love the content took me a year to find out but im currently binging

best series on youtube now

As a new Zealander who loves our endemic birds, I've never been so offended.

This was really cool! I love it!

He said “it’s a flightless bird that was last seen in (whatever year he said lol)” Forrest made a face like “wait…I already looked for this…”

You just gained my subscription - Congats!

This is the best series!

The YT algo was hitting with this one bro. I subbed.

I live in Central Florida and fish very regularly above and below the water. Manatees are very difficult to see when you are not looking for them, it would not surprise me if a 30ft version still exists and isn't seen regularly. Also, whales have changed their behaviors to exploit/avoid us more than once in history, what if only the smartest ones survived using new tactics and passed those strategies to their offspring.

This was fun. I want to hear his thoughts please on the Mammoths apparently sighted in Sibiria, and also the Megaledon.

This podcast is cool. Definitely sub

The Irish "elk" is not really an elk. Its closest living relative is the Fallow deer. Not the elk(wapiti) or elk(moose)

Keep this goin....and if you could can we maybe get longer run times, like 30 min episodes? Longer podcasts would be great too..

How is this not more popular

I love the extinct animal game. My favourite segment!

I'm a kiwi but totally agree with forrest not much to look at in terms of wildlife but the landscape is amazing

Great show

I wish i found something i had a passion for as Forrest has with biology....he was even named Forrest...destined to work with wildlife

love this show

Love this

So good!

Love the game - keep it up

At first I thought this video was about reviewing phots of unknown animals on game trail cameras. Lol!

I just watched video of a huge elk today. looked exactly like the extinct elk in this video

I'm pumped rogan gave Galante a platform. Dude is the man

im from albania, and due to its mountainous enviroment, these pockets form small lakes from rain, and i see hundreds of freshwater birds every 6th time i pass i would say, from pelicans to egrets flamingos plovers ducks geese just crazy numbers and varity, maybe a consideration in the future

There's no way the sea cows are still around in the Aleutians. They were inshore creatures known for a tendency to swim up to boats, and they were huge. People want them to exist, but they don't anymore. There were huge battles fought there during WW2 and the islands were a key theater of the Cold War. Plus it's part of one of the largest fisheries in the world. And it's studied by a metric ton of marine biologists, so yeah they're gone.

I live in a commercial fishing community on the outer banks of NC. I was in the local restaurant eating breakfast after duck huntin one morning and there was another group of hunters sitting within ear shot of me and I couldn't help but to notice their conversation and had to eavesdrop. One of the guys was telling the other three about a "sea monster" they had caught in their net. One of the other guys had already heard the story so he was kinda reaffirming what the man was telling them. The creature was estimated to be 40' in lenth, had a horse shaped head, huge eyes, flippers and I believe he said it seemed like it had some sort of hair or maybe it was growth on its skin. They dragged the net and creature toward the shore but before they could reach the shore it freed itself and swam off. They said it was close to capsizing the boat. The guy was very convincing that the story was legit, especially with the other guy confirming and even finishing what the original story teller was saying.

How he feels about the Sea Cow, I've felt about the Thylacine since Howling 3

I feel like I've seen a couple of Auk in real life when I was in Bornholm. But then again, I was like 5 years old and knew nothing about animals other than wolves

Do you lads think you’re gonna be doing like proper expeditions and filming them for KZfaq? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 EoA is one of the most interesting and best things I’ve watched and I think the place for that kind of KZfaq space is 100% there for yours to take, I learn way more about nature and the real life important and factual stuff from you lot I think if would be amazing 🤞

Nicely done.

This show was kooooool. Great discussion!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

great stuff

This series is 👌🏽

The great hawk still exists in Lofoten, Norway. We call it Lundefugl.

Saber toothed cat are believed to have become extinct because they were ambush predators rather than a pursuing predators, when the the climate began to cause more forested areas to become open plain they were not able to hunt prey as effectively due to this specialist way or predation. Anyway awesome vid guys, love this stuff.

Ivory Bill Woodpecker was just put back on the extinct list but I believe that there are some in the swamps. Great Dismal swamps for one.

If I ever win the lottery and have billions of dollars I am funding the findings of these animals believed to be alive through these videos lol

This is great! Yes, i would definitely watch more of this! :D

Best segment

We do have large cats... the cougar/mountain lion/ puma and Bob cats. I know they don't compare to much with smileladon but they aren't anything to sneeze at either. Lol

i think the coolest thing about new zealand is despite barely having any reptiles they have something called a tuatara thats neither a snake nor a lizard but its own thing

Chuck jones did the white seal and in it he followed the sea cow to a special island where seals would be left alone. That was based on a book written in late 19 th century. So could still be around

if pigeons had the speed and flavor of a cheeseburger, it's pigeon apocalypse

They are discussing the de-extinction of the Giant Moa too.

When I googled the wing span of the eagle that hunted Moa birds it said the haast eagle had a wing span of 8ft I really want to know more if any one has any info or was it just an accidental slip of wrong info ?

My first and only tattoo is of the irish elk, one of my favorite animals.

If I'm not mistaken elk can be used for all kinds of big cloven hooked mammals I may be mixing that up with moose but can't remember

the angle of that guys cap is making my eye twitch

Actually, there are reports in some parts of South America where people have seen Smilodon.

Yup,I'm into it

"they've got sheep" so many burns in one statement.

That Elk / moose is magnificent

Gosh, it would be cool to see something on the Korean Tiger!

In Costa Rica I’ve seen so many creatures that aren’t known to science often stuff like lizards or small birds nothing big but people talk of there being more monkeys than the four in the area I’ve never seen it but I don’t doubt it also in a far north remote area of Quebec which is only accessible by train track people say there’s mountain lions I’m quite blessed I’ve lived around nature all my life

Great game!

This is great!!! “Fuck it, release em”

this should be bigger. this is entertaining as fuck

North America also had it's own American cheetah that was hunted to extinction, the Saber toothed cat wasn't the only one. The living Pronghorn has a speed of up to 55 kph which is absurdly fast considering the next fastest current predators are bobcats and other much slower felines. It's speed was in order to outrun their primary predator which has since gone extinct.

Number one, penguin crossed with puffin by appearance , articulated wings , but still flightless...this is extinct.

Can you dive in the arctic or is it just too cold? I'd imagine we'd have some gear that would allow us too which would allow us to look for the sea cow.

damn you could totally ride a moa no porblem hahahah but that giant eagle is probably the most avatar thing you could ride..

They're so oily that they were used for heat. No wood on those shores so stranded sailors and even sailors on ships would just chuck another Great Auk on the fire.

I'll take a drumstick!

Bro science at its finest

Theres lots of excess Smilodon food around. Id like to start with volunteering a few neighbours.
