White-knuckle footage of an iguana running away from snakes on Planet Earth II became an internet sensation last month. But it turns out that was just the prequel.

Finally, Marshawn Lynch is here to give the clip the treatment it deserves.

What we have below is a bona fide piece of internet gold. Some diabolical genius took that Planet Earth II footage, then overlaid audio of Lynch describing his famous "Beast Quake" run from 2011. Turns out the two go together like peanut butter and jelly.

Our only quibble: The iguana should have grabbed its crotch, in true Lynch fashion, after getting away.

Anyway. Here's Lynch's epic run from the 2011 playoffs.

And here's the original Planet Earth II footage, featuring narration by David Attenborough.

Now, at this point you might be thinking: Hold up, there's a Planet Earth II? Where and when can I watch this follow up to the seminal docu-series from 2006? Also, I need to call my weed guy.

To answer your first and second questions: Yes; the series premieres stateside Jan. 28 on BBC America.

We can't help you with the third item, though.
