I came across this venomous, armored, and absolutely bizarre, Gila Monster, a desert legend you don’t want to mess with! This chunky lizard is one of only two venomous lizards in North America—and yes, it chews venom into its prey using grooves in its teeth. Gila monsters can go months without food, thanks to fat stored in their tails, and when they do eat, they gorge—sometimes consuming a third of their body weight in one sitting! Despite their slow, lumbering walk, their bite is lightning fast

Gila Monsters are such cool animals, and are one of only two venomous lizards in the world found mainly in Arizona and northern Mexico. The active ingredient in Ozempic (semaglutide) was inspired by a compound in Gila monster venom! | Jeremy Johnson Photography
