Gila Monsters in Saguaro National Park

I saw two good-sized Gila Monsters and a four-foot rattlesnake during this evening's bicycle ride around Saguaro National Park. I won't stop for the rattlesnakes, but I did manage to get a photo of this little guy as he was crossing the road.

And of course, this leads to the question: "Why did the Gila Monster cross the road?"

  1. To get to the other side.
  2. Because of his crimson hide.
  3. He was chasing some stinkbugs and flies.
  4. If he bites you you'll swell up and die.
