There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

This is not a movie...





Planet Earth II, back in 2016 captured these snakes hunting newly hatched baby iguanas. Since then, I can’t think of a more heart less animal.

The Galápagos racer (Pseudalsophis biserialis or Philodryas biserialis) is a colubrid snake in the genus Pseudalsophis that is endemic to the Galápagos Islands. It is a mildly venomous constrictor and is considered not aggressive and harmless to humans.

The iguana video shows an annual ritual on Fernandina, one of the Galápagos Islands. Marine iguanas — named for their defining swimming ability — hatch from buried eggs and must immediately traverse a stretch of beach thick with predators, in this case scores of hungry racer snakes. In this scene, one plucky iguana was set upon by a swarm of snakes, only to miraculously wriggle free and scrabble up the surrounding rocks, serpents nipping fruitlessly at its heels.

As long as the iguana don't movie, Snake can't detect, but if the iguana baby moves, all the snakes lunge on to the running iguana like real life hollywood haunting snake movies... Brutal...

According to the director, the rest of footage was so heart-wrenching it could not be show on the screen. Most of the iguanas don’t make it.
