“Gila monsters have beaded scales in colorful patterns. Gila monsters are
the largest lizards native to the United States. They get their name from
Arizona’s Gila River basin, where they were first discovered.
Gila monsters are also one of only two venomous lizards in the world.”
I treasure every encounter! Great closeup, kenne.
