Everything You Need To Know About Iguanas

From the BBC documentary Iguanas Living Like Dinosaurs these videos narrated by David Attenborough have some fantastic footage of Iguanas in the wild. Amazing that they can capture such detailed moments in time right from birth! These clips take us through the full life cycle of an Iguana!

Iguanas have many unique abilities including slowing down their heart rate to last underwater for a full 14 minutes. These creatures are no doubt one of mother nature's finest specimens...

These amazing goats are a real marvel of nature. Watch as their fear receptors make them just collapse in mid stride! I suppose it is much like playing possum only this time it is playing goat. The disorder is called Myotonia Congenita...

Great Natural Wonders Of The World

In this David Attenborough documentary we travel around the world to bring you some amazing wonders of nature. From the depths of death valley, to peaks of Yosemite Falls, to the volcanoes of Hawaii this video is certainly well worth your time, but be prepared it is about an hour long... I hope someday to visit all these places, but until then this is the closest I will come.

We Would All Be Dead Without Trees

This documentary from the BBC is an in depth look at some of the biggest and unique forests around the world. The giant sequoia General Sherman is the the largest living thing on the planet, coming in over 10 times the side of a blue whale! These trees have been alive for thousands of years! Hey they were here way before us so maybe we should show a little respect or maybe even learn a thing or two...

Be prepared though this video is almost an hour long.
