As host of the Extinct or Alive series, Galante has been seen negatively by ecologists for being a "parachute scientist".[46] Galante's website stated that he personally captured the first video footage of a Zanzibar servaline genet,[47] which is contradicted by Zanzibar researchers.[48] Galante has also claimed that he personally rediscovered the Fernandina Island tortoise [49] and the Rio Apaporis Caiman,[50] both claims which have been contradicted by the leaders of their respective expeditions,[46] the latter of which published their findings and exploration prior to Galante's trip to Colombia.[51] As of 2022, Galante has not outlined his claimed discoveries in any scientific journals.
