Wildlife biologist Forrest Galante has spent his life tracking and rediscovering animals 'lost' to extinction, from his historic rediscovery of the Fernandina Tortoise to the elusive Dracula monkey and more. Now, in an all-new series, Forrest, along with his wife and zoologist, Jessica Summerfield, travel across the globe from Mozambique to the Pacific Northwest, to investigate reports of 'strange sightings,' 'legendary creatures' and 'mysterious encounters' between humans and wildlife that may not only lead to conflict but may further lead to that animal extinction behind the local lore. Forrest's goal is to end the conflict and to solve the riddles behind the local legends and mysteries before these animals truly become 'mythological' due to extinction.

"Interesting concept of the show and I like the premise. Now where I am uhhhhhhh what about this show is the trust in Forrest Galante’s knowledge. “Black bears are more likely to attack than brown bears” and his whole situation with the black bear in the second episode specifically. As someone who lives in the mountains where a black bear is basically my neighbor, it’s common knowledge that they only attack when babies are near and you can typically scare them away by making yourself bigger or a lot of noise. It seems with every episode he purposely puts himself and his crew in dangerous situations that he doesn’t know how to control. It’s a good show for casual viewing but take every animal fact you learn from this with a grain of salt. Like the fact that he says red wolves are extinct. They’re on the verge of extinction but not extinct. There’s a state park in North Carolina that has a pack as well as WNC nature center has a pair. It’s the twisting animal facts for attention. Says they are extinct then ten minutes later shows a wolf center that has them. If you want to learn actual animal facts Irwin’s, Jeremy Wade, and The Zoo/Inside the Zoo series are better sources for tv and movie viewing. "
