Extinct or Alive is an American wildlife documentary television programme produced for Animal Planet by Hot Snakes Media of New York City, the United States. It is hosted by conservation and television personality Forrest Galante, who travels to different locations around the globe to learn about possibly extinct animals and whether or not there is a chance that they may still be extant. The series has been involved in the possible rediscovery of eleven animals, namely the Zanzibar leopard, the Pondicherry Shark, the Fernandina Island Galápagos tortoise, the Miller's grizzled langur, the Yangtze giant softshell turtle, and the Rio Apaporis Caiman.
