About This Reader
The Gila Monster is a large, venomous lizard found in desert regions. It has thick, bumpy skin that is orange and black, which helps it blend into its surroundings. The Gila Monster moves slowly and spends most of its time in burrows to stay cool. It eats small animals, eggs, and insects. Active mainly in the early morning and late afternoon, the Gila Monster's venomous bite is primarily used to subdue prey. This unique lizard's adaptations make it an intriguing subject of study in desert wildlife.
