*** About Gila Monster: Indigenous to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico, the Gila Monster (Heloderma suspectum) holds the title of one of the few venomous lizards in the world. These creatures possess a distinct appearance with bead-like scales covering their stout bodies. Gila Monsters are typically slow-moving but can deliver a powerful bite when threatened, using venom not for subduing prey but rather as a defense mechanism. Their diet mainly consists of eggs, small birds, and mammals. Despite their fierce reputation, Gila Monsters are somewhat reclusive and are considered a threatened species due to habitat loss and illegal pet trade. Conservation efforts are crucial to ensuring their survival in the wild.
