Watch the BBC first on iPlayer 👉 bbc.in/iPlayer-Home For racer snakes, the emergence of marine iguana hatchlings is a feeding bonanza.
Remote islands offer sanctuary for some of the planet's strangest and rarest creatures. The rare pygmy three-toed sloth enjoys a peaceful existence on an idyllic Caribbean island, while nesting albatross thrive in predator-free isolation.
But island life always comes at a cost. On the Galapagos Islands, young marine iguana must escape an onslaught of deadly racer snakes the moment they hatch from the sand. On the sub-Antarctic island of Zavodovski, life gets more extreme still. Every day, one and a half million penguins risk being battered against the rocks by fierce waves as they try to get on and off the island.

If this wasn't filmed, no one would believe the iguana's story
😂
😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂 true
This was shot a multiples times. The last one on the video was like the 4th iguana. The 1st 3 all got eaten.
beastywild 😂😂😂
The way all the snakes start coming out as soon as he starts running is straight out of a horror movie.
Iconic af
Lols...I couldn't agree more
I said the same thing, straight horror story!!!
That's real life not a action movie
And with the dramatic music in the back
Tom Cruise : I jump off buildings. Iguana : Hold my beer Tom
This guy will always be legendary, hope he is still alive out there
He is amazing I love him so much 😢❤
Prob eaten by eagle next day
@@RayThePurpleplease😭😭💀
Died later that afternoon
Happy to let you know I'm that iguana. I still eat danger for breakfast.
The iguana monk on the top of the rocks said "You have passed the final test"
😂
😂😂👏🏾

Of course...

KAUSHIK KUMAR 👏👏 Wow. Well ladies and gentlemen, here we have The Insolent Douchebag who has to bring something totally irrelevant to the topic.
Snake: u underestimate my power!!!! Iguana: but I've got the high ground!!!! snake:
The actor who played the iguana should have won an Oscar
That's why I don't watch Oscars they are not fair
@@rahulgogoispyder9471 it real iguana not actors bro see properly
@@PAUL2.0-uc3li may good things happen to you and everyone.
😂
It wasn’t acting
This is genuinely such an inspiring video. This one little lizard didn’t give up amongst insurmountable odds, why should I?
Exactly
Yeah❤❤❤❤❤
Because you are human!
@@BabakPA That's actually a reason to behave better
@@MonsterVerse_scientist-CnlDscr I agree, cheers
That was more intense than any scene from any action movie ever Also, trying to get through 2020 be like...
yes it is🤣🤣🤣i agree
kyleaca What do you mean? This is an action movie.
Facts this was different
For real!
🤣🤣
It's got everything: thrill, drama, suspense all within two minutes. Best short film Oscar award to it please.
Lol. You’re so witty. 😳 (I mean it.)
AND IT'S REAL EVEN. IT DESERVES MORE THAN OSCAR
Stfu
I had my heart in my mouth
😁😁😁
This is legit better than any action movie
I remember watching this as a child in awe and replaying the part where the iguana escapes, utterly amazing creatures.
if you were a child then, you're still a child now bud
*This has to be one of the greatest wildlife moments humans have ever captured*
truly!
One of the best videos of all time
Seriously !!
Beautiful and very natural computer animation
You are an idiot.
Seeing all of those snakes emerge was scarier than any horror movie.
For real I felt sad when they all wrap him up but he escaped so happy for him
I know! I cringed!
Scary? They cracked me up! 😂🤣
Looks like someone’s a little too cereal. 🙂
Pyramid snakes on a plane have nothing on this clip
Great acting on the part of the iguana and snakes. They all deserve Emmys.
I remember first time i saw this i was on the edge of my seat. This is like the 100th time and i still am. Shouts out to the videography team and the production overall… Planet Earth has to be the best nature docuseries ever.
All these years later and I still cheer and scream for the Iguana to escape when I see these scene!!
Hans Zimmer did the score, so of course it was going to be epic.
I love how the last snake fell through the rocks in one last attempt like an evil villain in a movie😂
😊
Almost looked like he was reaching for the ledge and was like "Wait..."
Yeah that was epic. I have watched this so many times and I still cringe.
@@notebooks6461 lol that awkward moment you’re in mid air and remember you don’t have arms😂😂
Remember me the Balrog fall on khazad-dûm bridge. But this time, Gandalf escape.
Literally, I could see the entire planet cheering for this guy... "Go, go, go!!! Runnnn!"
I was
I was
i was cheering for the snakes 😬
Run Forrest, Run!
I was
Great footage. Had me at the edge of my seat until the end. Hats off to the BBC for bringing us this masterpiece.....
one of the best wildlife captures on film, unbelievable camera work, we'll not see this beat for a while, the sealions hoarding tuna were second best in my opinion
It is a great moment! I also enjoyed the lions trying to chase down a giraffe and one Lionness went in front to head it off .nand got kicked and trampled as the Giraffe continued running as the Lion fell and theb rolled over before standing up...lucky to be not injured.
The second iguana on top was like: "Congratulations, you are now one of us"
''you've past the trial run'' lolol
😂facts
Dovahkiin..
He just join the assassins creed
😂🤣
Moral of the story : Don’t Give Up People
Yep, felt that
@Eddy Jin I bet you wanted to eat that lizard as much as the snakes did
So true!💯
@Eddy Jin do your homework eddy. High shools not out for you yet big guy
Son Barber exactly
Probably one of the greatest things ever recorded, and it's a daily occurrence in nature.
That was epic. Especially at the end when they snake lunged at him and missed, then it fell into a hole
totally an action movie scene
Name a scene that hasn’t won an Oscar that should have an Oscar:
This
This definitely!!!
Why Oscar ? This isn't acting
@@Sirrajj Yes it is
@@jacobholland9287 it isn't
Girl iguana: come to the top of the rock Boy iguana: can’t there’s snakes Girl iguana: my parents aren’t home Boy iguana:
LOL
monster are you
Nice
Lmao
Yep
This will forever be a classic. The cinematic feel was a nice touch.
His girlfriend at the top - “So what’s your excuse this time for being late for the date??” 😠
Iguana to the camera man: "That was my 3rd time today, and I almost got killed.. Now where's my money ?".
underrated

Best comment so far 🤣

😂😂
truely one of the best moments in modern nature
This film never stops amazing me whenever I watch. So many years passed and so many times I must have watched it skip my heart. One of the best wild life moments captured.
Omg this was more thrilling than movies nowadays. There is genuine danger
Movies have sucked for the last decade.
You better believe it
Of course actors are not in real danger. It's a movie, it's supposed to be fake.
Accurate
Charmander use ember to ssave the iguana
What the iguana did was impressive however, nobody’s talking about the iguana with the camera.
Skelter. Epitome of why we need the ability to block peoples posts.
It's drone bro
LOL
R Leb ...don’t you have anything better to say than the same lame bs line? Boring!
Skelter not to mention the iguana used a gimbal very impressive
“Why can’t you give up?” *”Because he never did”*
this iguana has no idea how many people have witnessed their greatness
His Mom at the end: "I told you not to go down there."
Nah she gone be like: This is beacuse you play those damn video games
@@kammyfml5288 Im so dead😂😂😂😂😂💀💀💀💀
Lizard: Wait....isn't that how dad died ? His Mom: 😏
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😄
I can't believe I was actually screaming "run".
TheoKabala89 same 😂
I know right? I mean snakes don't even have legs
TheoKabala89 same! it was insane!!
TheoKabala89 me too. . I scream run run. .
I was screaming run get away through the entire video... worst fear ever to have snakes chase me
Every time I see that little lizard escape certain death it makes me tear up.
Our Chemistry teacher shared this video with us to let us know that there is a solution to each and problem! What a legendary video! Kudos to the entire team and the legendary stuntman Mr. IGUANA!
They even guarded each escape route and still he managed to escape, this guy is a beast
I m yeagerist
Literally😂
Beacuase that guy is hero of South Indian movie..😂🤣
Aot fucked up with ending
And he is new to this world, imagine when he grows up 😂😂
“You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.”

Wow great quote!
Indeed, you have a very deep mind
100% correct
I held my breath watching this! The way all these snakes just went after iguana at once together. Damn!
I remember my primary school class and teacher used to cheer on the iguanas trying to escape the snakes, man. Memories.
wow
iguana to his friend: you wouldn't believe what just happened now.
And they coldly replied, "been there, done that"
@Eddy Jin american betaness ?
Iguana friend: Pics or it didnt happen
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂
When you spawn next to the enemy team.
Asif Hussain LMFAO

Muahahahahaha

Bro has so much torque at rear axle, that the front was even popping up but traction control kicked in quite fast 😂
"Why dont you give up?!" Me: "Because *he never did* "
This scene alone is worth grammy award.
the music? haha
@@jack.beenimble I guess he meant to say Academy award..! 😅😅
Hahaha Oscars maybe?
Billboard award
Unfortunately it doesn't have some diversity crap in it so they won't care. Even though nature is more diverse than any human rubbish.
If you ever have a bad day, imagine this iguana who literally escaped death. You are a survivor as well
Yessir!
Well said sir
Well said bro
Huge respect to the fighting spirit. Unreal!
And im going back to sleep
Me: Facing Monday mornings like this fearless iguana facing a swarm of snakes.
The videographer , Editor and Iguana deserve medal of first order . Iron Cross for Iguana
Human: "Been struck by lightning twice" Iguana: "Been chased by 100 snakes at once"
Human being getting struck like that by those Snakes 💀☠️
Where are the metal gear solid reference
A few minutes after birth ..
Who is glad that guana escaped from snakes 😂
Me
The snakes are hungry 😏
Me.
Me
Jajaja it's kinda like u in Bolivia o wait...
i think this is one of the best video clips ever recorded and publish on youtube pure action
Iguana: Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil
His friend when he gets back: "Told you not to go down there."
😂💀
😂😂spot on!
😂🤣😂🤣😂
The iguana didn't "go there." It was born there and has to go past the snakes to go to the water's edge.
@@eri4ever466 you shouldn't take comments like this seriously.
At the end he strolls up to the other iguana like: “bro, you would not BELIEVE what I just went through”
“I deadass got jumped by like 30 snakes”
"They should've had me like 3 different times but you know me, I'm built different."
I was literally screaming and it’s 1230 am 🤣🙏🏼😩
“ aye cuz I’m on the top of the mountain with ya “
@@sarinachairez1405 totally get it. Same
some people normally say I have a life and death situation, this redefines it all.
That was the best definition of "he fumbled the bag" . 😂😂
I feel like that iguana deserves an interview, a mini-series, and a book deal after that.
camerawork was on point
😂
I think he needs therapy
I have been more emotionally invested in this 2 minute video than I have in more movies, television shows, videogames, and books than I can think of
Maxwell Pettit same.
Maxwell Pettit
Weird.
Never!
Maxwell Pettit u clearly don't play the good games
"Why are you not giving up?" "Because he never did!"
This was an iconic tv moment, I remember even my cat was staring at the screen and shaking
His wife is all like "did you remember to get bread?"
John Williams hahaahahahhahahahaha
John Williams lol but he was born about 2 minutes before he got chased
This 2 minutes clip has more drama then most of Bollywood movies
Bollywood?
@@iongthok9425 it’s the Indian Hollywood
But this ain't beating the tv serial drama of India. Saas bahu serials are more dramatic... 😉
@@rubayth No, it's one of the many film industries in India. Just like Hollywood, not indian Hollywood
Bollywood 🤣🤦🏼♂️
One of the most amazing stuffs i ever saw in my life,btw huge props to camera man for recording this a guy is absolute legend
The Iguana teaches to Not give up and do your best even in worst...
Wow I thought my life was hard
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Facts!!! Lol
😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁

Hilarious
Man that last second jump away from the snakes Jaws was so Tom Cruise Mission Impossible. Amazing stuff.
Did the snake that failed the last bite fall off that cliff thingy? Do u think it died?lol
The legend 27.
Diego Flores Valenzuela no lol it probably just fell and slithered away
This scene is like a movie. It has everything action, adventure, drama, horror, suspense, a tiny bit of comedy.
"Well John and Sarah has a reason to be late" 🤣🤣🤣
when u get ganked 1v5 but still manage to escape

I don't remember the last time I watched a scripted chase in an action movie that was this thrilling 😮 literally on the edge of my seat rooting for a baby iguana 😅🥰
Can we all agree thiss is one of the best pieces of cinematography ever
This scene will go down as one the of most iconic scenes in TV history.
Yes 👏🏻
This is an animated video
@@mohitrathore618 no it aint haha
@@ethanalexander7212 LMAO bruh Google it
@@saytansflorist it’s not animated but they’re faked and not natural at all
this is the most epic video i've ever seen.
That iguana was very nearly a guaner!
Can I groan in agony at that one?
The snakes should have eaten the iguana because , whot do they do whot are they doing get rid of it .
hdspade indeed. It's a metaphor for European cave Beast trying to steal ancient Egyptian culture & artifacts
I always wonder that about nature shows. Their cameramen/production crews don't get enough credit for the amazing work that they do.
If this is not the best damn movie action scene ever, I don't know what is.
This little video was way more intense than any hollywood movie I have ever watched.
Okay, I’m not afraid of snakes but seeing them all flood out of those rocks, that’s straight up horrifying
If I have a machine gun, then bring on thousand snakes
@@sadnew3271 What about Anaconda? (Above person edited his comment. His comment was something like this : i am afraid of one venomous snake than thousands without venom)
@@Niyaz916 🤣🤣
@@Niyaz916 best come back ever 😂🤣
Niyaz x so what? Just a big snake doesn’t mean that it can take more shots just a bigger target that doesn’t even have venom.
Worst nightmare to be chased by hundreds of snakes and still be able to escape from their grip 😱😱😱
I guess it was just his lucky day lol
@@beastmotoz Thats what, most people term hard work as luck... Lucky would he been if he just stood there nd snake didn't ate it...Here he gave his best shot (do or die) & not giving up and his work paid him off...

@@rathodkrunal7077 Good way of viewing it imo
Thats exactly me after switching off the lights at night running towards my room💀
this video is so cool. cameraman deserves a raise.
This is like a scene from a horror movie. Damn, this animals in the wild really have hardcore survival. We do too, but psychologically.
U are right
Earlier we had too.. Now all smart killing.. Like all smart gadgets
@@keepgoing6430 more like cruel killing.

How amazingly cameraman captured this....incredible skills
Just imagine how much epic and dramatic wild events like this happened that were not filmed
You know the sad thing? One two minute video of snakes v iguanas was better than Batman v Superman.
Turbo Nerdo Aye the Ultimate Edition, unhacked up version of that movie was actually good
Turbo Nerdo That's not sad this shit was epic. I'd rather watch this over civil war too
You miswrote The Avengers.
This is surely absolutely true, so real and intense fight!
Turbo Nerdo 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
A near miraculous escape? You're shitting me, that is the very definition of miracle!
also not shot in one take. I think a bit of stitching together of footage was done. good non the less
Well technically a miracle is defined as a suspension of the natural laws of the universe, but you're right most people would incorrectly call that a miracle, invoking God in every lucky situation (but never the countless more unlucky ones)
Miraculous and miracle are the same thing
@@outforthecount7027 The film is taken and cut from many small films taken at difference times likely with different lizards then put together as one film.
it wasn’t a miracle it was the iguanas perseverance that got him out. he was caught and didn’t give up. never give up until the very end.
Simultaneously the most and least lucky creature to have gotten into that situation but also to have survived
This ought to be tagged the miraculous escape, I have to watch it over and again. Bravo
It was like a training. The master was waiting up on the rock.
