"What can you do to defend yourself against a Tiger? Not much: it's a Tiger." Is my new favorite line.

"What can you do to defend yourself against a tiger? Not much. It's a tiger."

"Crows don't just dive bomb people. Crows don't do that." *Sweats in Australian, looking to the skies for Magpies.*

Hitchcock's The Birds would've been 100% more scary if he'd used geese instead of crows.

I could listen to this guy talking about animals during the entire confinement/curfew/quarantine.

Love how he mentioned the extinct native eagles of NZ! My dad would tell me stories of them as a kid, I thought for a long time that they were only myth until I learnt about them in a museum

“Flying birds won’t really attack people at all” Australians during magpie season: Are you sure about that?

So no one gonna talk about how he's a wildlife expert and his name is Forrest

Fun fact: not only the tiger pattern is a good camouflage, but it's prey can't distinguish orange and green, so tigers, as a matter of fact, look green to those animals, which is awesome in dense foliage.

I went to a big cat sanctuary for my birthday once and when we were visiting the tigers, someone asked the caretaker, "can you go in there and pet him?" The caretaker replied, "no, he would absolutely eat me," and it was so funny because up till that point it was Jango this and Jango that, talking about how cute Jango is lol

It’s true that petting a tiger is an amazing feeling and experience. When I was 10, for a gift my mum and I paid for an experience at our local zoo to feed the lions during their feeding time, after we fed them in their behind the scenes enclosures one of the tigers was pacing near a fence that lead to the tiger enclosure and the keeper with us (who also worked with the tiger) asked us if we wanted to pet its back/side. The keeper was near its face while my mum and I got to pet it for about 5 minutes. We have photos of it and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life and one I don’t think I will ever really have the chance to do again

“Bats aren’t at all dangerous to you” *sweats in quarantine”

Writes down: "don't stick finger in tiger's butt" Underlines

“It’s a tiger, it’s going to win” 😂😂 love it

You've got to admit, as dangerous as tigers are, they're beautiful beasts, for sure.

"I'm not quite understanding why horse butt is the consistency of a bounce house " 😂😂

They could have Forrest Galante back every week and I'd be happy.

I love crows. Because when I was in high school I fed one a single chip, and it proceeded to constantly bring me little rocks and shiny things it found at the same time every day

“My sisters a big rider, I’m not” - Forrest Gallante

Forrest Galante: "There are only a few bats that bite people" 2020: "What about people who bite bats"

Hold up. The man just talked about a particular part of Māori history. Most people probably missed this, but as a kiwi this was so lovely of him to say 💕 cheers for making us feel included

The whole point of 'The Birds' is, of course, that the birds suddenly start acting in very unnatural way. And they are common birds that are everywhere, Which is the horror element.

I want to marry this man. He loves animals, is intelligent, handsome, and is articulate. I want one lol.

Gordon Ramsay breaks down cooking movies. This needs to happen

"What can you do to defend yourself against a tiger? Not much...It's a tiger." 😂😂😂

His, love and enthusiasm for animals is so contagious and awesome, could talk about animals to this man forever

The crows thing is crazy because in Vancouver Canada where I live every evening we have this huge migration of crows (like thousands of them) that fly across the city together and land on telephone wires and look really spooky. It’s one of the coolest things honestly, love when I get out to see it

“Birds aren’t aggressive” my sandwich could tell a different story sir

This guy is one of the best breakdowns. Keep bringing him back GQ!

1:55-1:57 *Hold there for a second: Shows the kid being attacked, “There right there, that’s pretty funny”* 😂😂

I love this guy so much. He's so knowledgeable but always seems to want to know more about almost everything.

1:55 “Hold it there for a second, yeah that’s pretty funny” My brain; *hey lil’ momma lemme whisper in your ear, tell you something that you might like to hear*

This man really just used a polar bear as an example of a penguin predator

"Kick Cannon!" I literally laughed out loud. Classic!!

it may not be very realistic to weaponize a horse kick, but there's just something about that shot thats amazing. one of my favorite moments in an action movie

“Horses aren’t very alarmed by people running” I’ve seen horses spook at butterflies and leaves....😂😂 but yes, movie horses are amazing

Expert: "Crows are nothing to be afraid of" Also expert: "A large group of crows is called a murder"

I have to contradict Forrest here on the statement 'you couldn't command a horse to kick'. Because you can. It's called capriole and is a so-called air above the ground as taught and ridden in high levels of classical dressage. It wouldn't look like what the horse in John Wick is doing but that movement can also be trained.

"I'm not quite understanding how horse butt is the same consistency as a bounce house." Favorite quote by far! I've been kicked in the thigh by a Haflinger & didnt fall back, so that's accurate & hilarious. 🤣🤣

"Nobody watching this has ever been attacked by a crow" *Has flashback to when my family got swept away by crows*

"If you see a bat curled up in your house, and this is probably something that's going happen to almost everybody at one point in their life..." WHAT

18:20. While I agree that a lone penguin doesn't really have much of a chance against a polar bear, it's a bit strange that this guy doesn't know they live on opposite sides of the earth. Other then that, great show.

Imagine having this dude in a movie theater and he just start rumbling facts and then you'll lost interest to the movie and just keep listening to him.

"they don't divebomb something" Me having Magpie flashbacks

1:58 Crow: Hey little mama lemme whisper in your ear

Hitchcock's birds were not good CG or bad CG. They were hand-drawn animated birds. This guy has a great presence and a pleasant delivery.

To be fair, Crows haven't historically hurt people but another type of Corvid has; Magpie's. I think if a Crow wanted too they could do a fair bit of damage. Going for the eyes would be a pretty effective strategy. Some lady here in Australia lost her eye when a Magpie swooped her

i love this guy. the energy is 100% glad they brought him back

This man has clearly never been attacked by a magpie

I would happily sit and watch this man talk about animals in movies for hours. So informative and eloquently put

Best idea for a tiger horror movie or attack scene is character jumps into lake/river/ off waterfall into pool below to escape it, only for Tiger to come in and start swimming towards him.That would be far more terrifying then generic chase and lunge.

I have spent more time watching these “Break Downs”, than anything on Netflix, Hulu, Prime, Disney+, and HBO.

Paramedic reviews emergency medicine scenes in movies

1:37 "no one has ever been attacked by a crow because it never happens" Me who was attacked by a crow when I was 4: 👁 👄 👁

not at how this man breaks it so beautifully. i actually learned things and hes detailed ab it. my fav breakdown so far

11:40 Forrest is incorrect when he says that you could not train a horse to kick on command. While a difficult and time consuming thing to train, Spanish carvery horses were often times trained to rear up and flair their front legs or kick out with their hind legs on command. This was a defense for if the rider and horse were surrounded by enemy foot solders. Probably the easiest example to find of this in modern times would be the Lipizzan Stallions, which are worth looking into if anyone is curious.

As soon as he said cassowary I thought: "If they would have filmed Birds in Australia it would have been a different horror movie."

dear Forrest, thank you! your 3 videos helped me to overcome acute feeling of being depressed and burned out after my exam, and to remember that I still love biology (tho molecular one). thank you! will wait for a book about all your bizarre experiences! ;)

11:06 As a horse lover myself, I know you should never get too close to a horse's rear end. If you have to walk behind a horse while you're grooming it, make some type of sound ie. talking or singing to let the animal know that you are there. Also, the bigger the horse, the more severe the injuries can be when they kick you. BTW I think the breed of horse in that clip is either a Quarter Horse, a SaddleBred, or a Thoroughbred

The comanche tribe actually did the thing with the hanging on the side of the horse. They could do it at full speed and to use the horse as a form of cover in a fight.

Okay but is no one going to talk about the wildlife expert saying a POLAR BEAR is a predator for PENGUINS??

I could absolutely listen to him for hours I hate that this is so short and I learned so much I love it

I love this guy! His passion for what he does is off the rickter scale! Keep doing it Forrest!

"I'm not quite understanding why horse-butt is the consistency of a bounce house"

“You shouldn’t go walking into a tiger enclosure”...he hasn’t seen tiger king yet, has he

"Mom! Mom! We found a bat!" The kids, playing with super-soakers, accidentally knocked down a bat roosting under our deck. I grabbed a box and came out and covered the poor little bat. I then questioned all the children and determined that none of the children had touched the bat - these were 10 to 12 year olds and relatively truthful. I sent them off to go fill their super-soakers at a different hose tap. I opened one end of the box and had everyone step back to let the bat fly out when it was ready. Only then did it occur to me to called all the parents of the children who weren't mine and to tell them about the bat encounter and also to ask them to talk to their children to ensure that none of the children had touched the bat. If any of them had told me that they had touched the bat, the bat would have had to go off to the county animal control to be tested for rabies and there is no way to do that without killing the bat. After the bat was released, any child who admitted to touching it would have had to have gone for rabies shots.

He's so good at this. The animal breakdowns are my absolute favorites.

Magpies at least do attack in spring, when they breed. There is lots of stories of this in my town. A friend of mine was attacked by two of them.

I seriously was thinking he was calling them “Gen 2” penguins. As if there’s a Gen 3 out there that’s the bigger model or something...LMAO. My wildlife biology skills aren’t quite the same as Forest Galante. 😂😂

Him saying crows don't bomb out of the sky, or attack, indicates he has clearly never been to Vancouver BC during their mating season. We have friggen virtual maps that indicate the hot spots because they are so frequent.

they shouldn’t have used “the birds.” the whole point of the movie is that the birds aren’t acting like birds should; they aren’t trying to accurately portray birds.

As someone who lives is Australia and has to brave magpie season, I can tell you small flights birds are nuts!

"What can you do to protect yourself? Not much, it's a Tiger, but dont stick your finger in its butt".....I mean humanity is so colorful lol

this guy is good . he needs to have his own show .... he DOES have a show

That bat scene hits different now

Forest Galante: "You shouldn't put bats into pots". That should be a billboard in China

Bit of a slip up there with the penguin vs polar bear suggestion!

Swear they get all these guest ideas by watching old JRE episodes

Aren't penguins and polar bears living on opposite poles? Anyway, love that guy!

I studied animal sciences in college, and then went onto a degree. Spent a lot of time working with various animals, including working on an active farm, with all the animals you'd expect, including horses. I love horses. One time we were grooming the horses, scraping out their hooves, and a girl on the course walked around the back of the horse and it kicked out, kicked her in the chest, right over the lower couple of ribs. It broke the ribs but luckily didn't puncture a lung. She still has a crescent scar to this day. Another friend of mine was riding her horse and it slipped over. As it was trying to get back up it stood on her thigh, that thigh is still numb even years later. Horse rule #1: NEVER WALK AROUND THE BACK OF A HORSE!

That JCVD tiger attack is excellent I had no idea that existed and the pose of the tiger as it leaps is hilarious

Every australian when watching this is thinking have you heard of a magpie

His name is Forrest, what choice did he have but to become a wildlife expert

I thought they must be running short of good ideas for the breakdown but this was actually incredibly cool and hillarious.

"What you should do is put your hand low and let the animal come to you." So basically how I treat my cats

I love these GQ!!!! Please make more!! ♥️ thank you 😊

can bats be carriers of rabies, yes Bats: sweats profusely

For those that wondered The Haast Eagle he is talking about in the beginning was the biggest bird by weight, but not necessarily by wingspan. He got the size a bit wrong. Although they had a weight of 10-15 kg (22-33lb) for the females and 9-12 kg (20-26lb) for the males, they only had a wingspan of 8-10ft similar to the biggest living eagles now

I didn't know he came back for a second video. I love this guy!!! 😍😍😍

“My sister is a big rider , I am not” lmao 12:55

at 9:45 Forrest Says "What a Bunch of Nonsense" that the most comedy part of this

"no one watching this video has ever been attacked by a crow" australians watching: ...

You all should do a "Real exorcist breaks down horror movies" :D

When my dad was a teenager he had a bat come into his room through an open window at night. He got up off his bed and the bat landed on his back. 63 years old and he's still creeped out by them lol.
