All About The Gila Monster
By Me
Gila Monster is a wonderful animal with a bad reputation that lives in Arizona. With crushing jaws it preys on rodents, frogs, insects, worms and also eats carrion. Yum! It is a very venomous animal. (Venom is hurting when it bites you, poison is hurting when you eat it.) What animal can survive the harsh desert climate? The Gila of course!A Gila Monster has many adaptations so it can survive, some that I've already mentioned like venom. It's habit of mating in early spring is another. Avoiding humans so they humans avoid them is another adaptations! And last, but not least, their orange and black scales help.
Since the Gila Monster is a very interesting animal there are plenty of things you should know. Number one is that they store fat in their tail and because of that it can go for months without food. The second thing is that they can live up to twenty years in the wild. Did you know that it has a purple tongue? Well now you know that and more interesting things about the fabulous Gila Monster!
Is there national holiday for Gila Monsters? I learned a lot of things about them. I did not know they store fat in their tails or that they live so long
