I'm glad you both enjoyed those clips!
I love nature documentaries, and Planet Earth was my favorite series (with RA narrating, not SW, if you know what I mean). I used to show off my new HDTV with that series, 10 years ago...
I downloaded the 1st episode last night, since it just started on the BBC in the UK. Won't hit the US on BBC America until January, but I couldn't wait!
All I can say is WOW!!!! And that entire iguana sequence is in there. And the closeups they can get with the new technology today, makes you feel like you're there! And with Richard Attenborough narrating, it was a wondrous thing to watch and listen to! Looking forward to the rest...

I watched a documentary a couple years ago about a guy that was searching for tigers in China or Vietnam I believe, but it was winter. And his guide who is a naturalist had built a hide, pretty much a fairly large hole with a wooden roof and a small open slot to film out of and he had spent 1-3 months waiting for a tiger to walk buy and get some film of it. At one point he said three tiger in a family actually got on top of his hide and the weight was too much and he found himself with the paw of one of these tigers directly in front of his face for a moment before the jumped off the mound and walked away. They didn't know he was there.
But the length of time to get these videos is sometimes very lengthy. Great stuff to watch though.

On a Galapagos island. They are called racer snakes. And they're dang fast!
You'll be able to see it in Planet Earth II on BBC America in Jan, but you can watch it now if you go the alternative route... ;-)

Those people are there for long amounts of time, enduring stuff that most of us would quit because of, after a few days! I can't imagine to understand the patience and dedication (and bravery) that it takes to film stuff like that.
They have a true love for their art. And I really appreciate it!
A lot of those have already been on the PBS Nature series...
