BBC’s Planet Earth is amazing. Season 2 premiered on Sunday (6 Nov) and the internet lost its freaking mind over the Iguana vs snakes video (a lot of snakes). And rightly so. Here are the best reactions.
The video
The BBC isn’t letting us watch the original in SA, but here is a version.

People got creative and added their own music. Raiders of the Lost Ark works pretty well.

If anyone didn’t cheer when the baby iguana escaped then you’re dead inside #planetearth2

I was so emotionally invested in that iguana I don’t think I would’ve been able to cope if it had died #planetearth2

Everyone is happy that the baby iguana got away; nobody cares about the hungry snakes. I blame the biased mainstream media.

In a world full of snakes, be the Iguana you know you can be.

I have never rooted for anything as much as I did for the iguana on #planetearth2
