Comment a été tournée la vidéo qui a fait frémir les internautes il y a une dizaine (?) de jours.
We filmed this sequence over a period of two years, in two trips to Galapagos of about 18 filming days each, adding up to around 400 hours of field time. The edited material from Galapagos lasts less than nine minutes. It contains the first ever footage of snakes hunting dragon-like marine iguanas en masse, one of the most thrilling examples of animal behaviour I have had the privilege to film.

When baby marine iguanas hatch in Galapagos, they normally lie just beneath the surface of the sand to absorb as much heat as they can before they reveal themselves to the world. It is assumed that they do this to power their muscles to outrun any predators that might be lying in wait. This is especially important on Fernandina, the largest pristine tropical island in the world, where the absence of introduced species means there are large numbers of racer snakes.

Hamilton describes the exhausting deceptions and logistics required to obtain the drugs, hide the drugs, store the blood bags, schedule the dosing—the hundreds of details necessary to maintain the high-40s hematocrit level that keeps a racer competitive on the course and safe in the control room. At times the evasive measures sound like techniques from a cheap spy novel. There are disguises, prepaid cell phones, clandestine meet-ups in random hotel rooms, and lots and lots of code names, including “red eggs” (testosterone pills), “Edgar” (EPO), and “oil” (testosterone drops). At one point, Hamilton got a text from his doctor on his prepaid phone during a Tour de France rest day: “The restaurant is 167 miles away.” Translation: Meet me in room 167 for your blood transfusion.
