Honestly, I can’t watch the full dramatic version of this video more than once. Yes, “mess” is the correct collective term for iguanas - so if you find yourself with a whole mess of iguanas, you literally have a mess of iguanas. Finally, you think this story has an unhappy ending when the snakes pile on the lizard and squeeze it - but no! It escaped again and found its way back to the mess. There are so many times you think the iguana is done for right as it escapes again. The tense footage shows a newly hatched iguana narrowly escaping racer snakes. On Sunday night, BBC’s incredible Planet Earth 2 raised the bar for gut-wrenching moments with the story of a baby iguana that found itself in the middle of an entire nest of racer snakes. The iguana chase won Planet Earth II the Bafta for Must-See Moment.

This is the wildest action movie we’ve seen in darn near 20 years, and it’s all just stuff that happens in nature every day. #PlanetEarth2 /01dDjDJcdX- ✏️ November 7, 2016 Walt Disney’s brother Roy admitted: “There was a time when we were presenting a lot of footage – that we knew was staged – as having occurred naturally.Possibly the greatest scene in documentary history. The award-winning Iguana vs Snakes, part of BBC’s Planet Earth II, depicts a baby iguana being hunted and largely outnumbered by a group of blood-thirsty snakes in a suspenseful chase for survival. They were eventually taken to the Bow river and pushed off the bank, the Guardian reported. It was revealed that the crew had in fact disturbingly paid children in Canada’s northern Manitoba region to round up some lemmings. In a classic example, Walt Disney’s lemmings sequence portrays hundreds of the animals committing mass suicide in the sea, which was later proved to be a myth. “In one case a crew tied down a ferret to a rock to lure a hawk.” “When it goes further than editing footage to crews intervening with nature and potentially harming animals, that’s where it crosses the line,” she said. Ms Smaill added that there was, however, an ethical line that filmmakers should not cross. We can see the camera move, we can see changes of perspective,, we see close-ups turn to wide shots and vice versa.” The wide tracking shot as the iguana makes it escape as the snakes come out of the earth - I experienced it as a kind of horror film. “The clip from Earth is absolutely compelling filmmaking, it is suspenseful, its production values are impeccable and it makes no attempt to disguise the fact that it is stitched together. If today is my last day on this earth, at least I spent it watching that iguana/snake video 25 times in a row. The athletic reptiles survival instinct kicked in when fire broke out at its owners home in Whitworth Avenue, Corby. planetearth2 Darren Holland (darrenholland) November 6, 2016. An iguana escaped from a house fire by jumping on to a firefighters helmet.
“Most nature documentaries try to show the survival of the fittest in the most readily understandable form - a challenge, an annual pilgrimage, a miraculous escape. The snake/iguana scene is by far the most pulsating television I've viewed in some time.

This is perhaps one of most dramatic and universal stories we have,” he said. Travelling through jungles, deserts, mountains, islands, grasslands and cities, this series explores the unique characteristics of Earths most iconic habitats and the extraordinary ways animals. “The nature documentary is really only ever about one thing: death and survival - the primal forces of natural life. University of Sydney film studies lecturer Dr Richard Smith backed Ms Smaill’s assessment, claiming that documentaries are “stitched together all the time”. “And it’s the mastery of the audio-visual, footage being sped up or slowed down to tell a story and make a spectacle.” “Wildlife documentaries are highly crafted - it’s not a matter of ‘point the camera and shoot'”, she said. Ms Smaill said it was common practice for programmes such as BBC’s Planet Earth II to heavily edit footage for documentaries, especially when it comes to nature films and camera-shy reptiles.

“I think that in the age of reality TV and fake news, we’re well-versed as consumers and it’s up to the viewer to discern what’s true.”
