Snakes Chase Baby Iguana

In this clip from the BBC series Planet Earth II, Sir David Attenborough narrates a life-and-death action scene. On Fernandina, one of the Galapagos Islands, most baby marine iguanas are eaten by racer snakes as soon as they hatch. Of course, enough iguanas survive to lay more eggs. Will this one?

It gets pretty intense. If you prefer, you can watch the Benny Hill version. Planet Earth II will air in the United States beginning January 28th. -via reddit


It's bad enough channels like Animal Planet show animals preying on other animals or reptiles but why is Neatorama showcasing this horror? Most site visitors read Neatorama for interesting, kitschy content and prefer not to see animal's being preyed upon or eaten. Just sayin' please stick with pleasant animal stories. Thanks.
