What Mark said.
I suspect the relative brightness of the subject and the resulting DOF of
the background minimizes the noise of the high ISO.
If you tried the same ISO in a situation that really needed that high an
ISO, the results would not be nearly so good - not that noise is bad in all
situations.

That's a fabulous photo - the colors in the snake really stand out from
the green background. Remarkably little noise for ISO 10,000 as well...

Unless you're shooting a completely static scene on a good tripod,
shutter speed will affect the way the photo looks. Unless everything in
the scene is beyond the hyperfocal distance and you are below a
diffraction limiting f-stop, aperture will affect the way a photo looks.
In most cases, the noise or dynamic range from various ISOs will affect
the image less, and will have a lower chance of causing a photo to be
unusable, than either of the other two.
Yesterday morning, I took a few minutes out of cleaning up my yard to
photograph a snake I caught. I had never seen one like this, and wanted
to post some photos to facebook which I often refer to as my "auto-bon",
because I can post pictures of wildlife, and they will automatically be
identified for me. After two people marked one of the photos as a
favorite I was moving it into my monthly best-of and noticed that it was
shot at ISO 10,000.
I'll admit, that I had noticed a little noise in the background, but with
my K20, any shot of the sky would show worse noise at ISO 800, possibly
400. Welcome to the twenty first century where an ISO 10,000 photo might
look "a little rough in the shadows".
