## Caption

A Gila monster came crawling out of a drainage pipe and found a rattlesnake waiting nearby 😳🐍🌵

The wild encounter was captured by kim_in_the_sonoran_desert in the Sonoran Desert, with the two animals coming face-to-face just feet apart.

Instead of fighting, they basically acknowledged each other and went their separate ways 😂

Just another completely normal day in the Arizona desert.

What are the odds of catching both of these in the same spot? 👀
