Baby iguana escaping a nest of racer snakes in BBC's Planet Earth 2 has shocked the world
Updated | By Lee-Roy Wright
The long awaited second installment of BBC's hit show, Planet Earth, debuted just last night to over 9 million viewers. One of the most talked about scenes was that of a baby iguana running for its life from a pit of racer snakes.

The internet was a frenzy after last night's first episode of the six part series - Planet Earth 2. Fans and internet users have literally gone crazy over the footage showing a baby iguana entering a pit of racer snakes.
In the video the baby iguana is seen treading very closely to the snakes and dashes from the snakes only to be caught in a ball, surrounded by racer snakes.
What happens next will blow you away!
