never gets old ....
This will always be one of the most amazing nature scenes ever put to film. 👏
What a nightmare for the iguanas
run boy run
Legendary video
What a terrifying start to life!
( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°) In the immortal words of Family Guy, “Damn nature, you scary”! 😳🤯😂
Great video. Thanks BBC Earth❤
I've seen less dramatic Tarantino movies.
The first scene where the iguana stopped and the snake stopped…..red light! green light! Ran through my mind! If you know you know! 😂
I've seen this video multiple times and I still root for the baby iguanas 😮😮
The Galapagos islands have just dropped couple spots in my to-do list to visit 😮
Some might feel sorry for the iguana, but the snake is simply hunting to survive. So, in this battle, do "good guys" and "bad guys" really exist? 🐍🦎
The emergent cooperative hunting behavior of Galapagos racer snakes is an incredible ethological phenomenon: no leader, just visual stimulus convergence. Did anyone notice the fine line between pure luck and natural selection advantage in this escape? Thanks to the channel for such top-tier footage!
That split-second where it was completely wrapped in a knot of snakes and somehow slipped free... my heart stopped for a full 10 seconds.
J’ai deja vu plusieurs fois cette vidéo.elle est incroyable ❤
I love David Attenborough's commentaries, but Snoop Dogg's commentary on this video may be slightly better. 😅
An incredible depiction of a near-miraculous escape. The way these hatchlings must navigate a hostile island filled with ambush predators right from birth is truly intense.
Do they split the iguana?
A cruel yet incredibly vivid battle for survival. Love how the video keeps the natural colors and the raw, wild pacing. A classic footage!
