We chat with adventurer and conservationist ForrestGalante about his SharkWeek program, AlienSharks: Strange New Worlds, and discussed the idea of de-extinction:
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Discovery’s Shark Week is back with exciting new programming like Alien Sharks: Strange New Worlds. This new iteration of the Alien Sharks series takes viewers to the coast of South Africa in search of unique animals including the sevengill shark, a rare species of shark named for its distinguishing feature. The program also features never-before-seen deep-sea videography, unlikely finds, and more.
Forrest Galante: It was definitely less difficult than others, especially because with Extinct or Alive, and some of the other stuff I do looking for extinct species, the journey is often the destination. The likelihood of us finding something is always really, really slim, even though we have been successful quite a number of times. [With] this one I think the destination was always finding the sevengill.
Forrest Galante: Well, first of all, when you think about Shark Week, you think of the big iconic animals: the white sharks and the hammerheads and the tiger sharks. My thing, no matter what the show is, is [that] I always love the opportunity to give the underrepresented organisms the spotlight. I really, really enjoy being able to find what I think are much cooler animals and showcase them, and let the world fall in love with them.
Speaking of things not recorded, you also put a camera very, very deep in the ocean, and got a lot of unique footage that way. What is the feeling for you of knowing that you're one of the first people to see something, or at least capture something? That's got to be amazing. For someone like me who's not in the field, it's easy to imagine that scientists have explored everything. I know that's an insane thing to say, but how difficult is it to get that kind of new footage, [and] to find something new? How often is this happening for you?
I remember seeing a TikTok of yours last year, [and] you were very excited about a company, Colossal, trying to de-extinct the thylacine. Do you have thoughts on how viable de-extinction is going to be in the future with other species as well? Is it something you think about, or dream about?
