Most people in Arizona will probably never see one of these in the wild 👀🦎
Gila monsters spend most of their lives hidden underground, only coming out for short periods — which makes spotting one in the desert pretty rare.
They may look intimidating, but they’re slow-moving, usually avoid people, and are one of the most recognizable animals native to Arizona.
You could live here your entire life and never cross paths with one… then randomly see one on a desert trail 😭
Have you ever seen a Gila monster in Arizona? 👀
