Gila Monster COMMON NAME: Gila Monster SCIENTIFIC NAME: Heloderma suspectum DESCRIPTION: VENOMOUS NOTE: It is illegal to collect or posses a gila monster without a permit. The gila monster and the related Mexican beaded lizard are the only known venomous lizards. The venom of the gila monster is not injected, but flows into the open wounds of its prey as it is chewed. The gila monster is a large and heavy bodied lizard, 18 to 24 inches in length, with small bead-like scales on the back. Their pattern varies from broken blotches, or bars, spots of black and yellow, pink, or orange with bands that extend onto its blunt tail. The thickness of the tail indicates the amount of stored fat. LIFE HISTORY: Gila monsters may mate any time throughout the summer and lay 3 to 5 eggs that hatch 120 days later. Hatchlings are 4 to 6 inches long.

Tucson Two larger-than-life Gila monster lizards rest between traffic lanes on the Irvington Road Bridge. The lizards face opposite directions at the center of the bridge. With their long tongues extended, each Gila monster is nearly 53 feet long. Architect Robert Vint worked with a team of fabricators to create these beautifully ornate reptiles. They are covered with a colorful mosaic of broken ceramic tiles.

84. Lizards - More Detail Some of the larger lizards like the gila Monster are carnivores. The gilamonster and the beaded lizard are the only poisonous lizards. http://eduscapes.com/nature/lizard/index2.htm

Lizards Many people think lizards only live in the desert. However, lizards are found almost everywhere around the world. There are almost 3,800 species worldwide. Over 110 kinds can be found in the United States. Lizards including iguanas, monitors, geckos, and horned lizards are the most common and fascinating reptile. In some areas of the US, people mistake lizards for salamanders. Salamanders and lizards are not related. Salamanders are amphibians like frogs. Lizards and snakes are closely related. Eastern Collared Lizard Size: The largest lizard is the Komodo monitor. It can grow to be over 10 feet long (3 meters). It can weigh nearly 300 pounds. The smallest lizard is a tiny gecko. Characteristics: Most lizards have dry, scaly skin, four legs, clawed feet, external ear openings, and a long tail. Lizards have a fragile, detachable tail. Many species have a weak point in their a tail. A slight tug or bump can be all that's needed to break it off. The thrashing tail distracts the predator. In some lizards, brightly colored tails increase the chance of losing a tail rather than losing a life. However, not all lizards lose their tails easily. For example, the collared lizard (above), has a sturdy tail that is rarely lost. Lizard tails help in balance and locomotion. Tails are also part of the social status and an area for fat storage. Losing the tail can be a serious problem for a lizard. If they live long enough, some lizards can grow back their tail.

86. Gila Monster Info There are only two species of venomous lizards in the world, The Beaded lizards(Heloderma horridum) from Mexico and The gila Monsters (Heloderma suspectum http://www.natures-image.co.uk/page33.html

Promoting Awareness of our Natural World Produced in the U.K. The Gila Monster (Americas Aztec Lizard) There are only two species of venomous lizards in the world, The Beaded Lizards (Heloderma horridum) from Mexico and The Gila Monsters (Heloderma suspectum) which occur in the South Western USA. The subject of countless superstitions and legends these large lizards (adults 18-20"), are still little understood as they spend 99% of their life underground. They have been accused of being able to spray a deadly vapour into the faces of their enemies, of being able to leap two foot into the air, that once they have bitten a victim they will not release their bite until the sun sets, or it thunders, and many more such groundless superstitions. As is so often the case, the truth is just as (or more) interesting than the myth. Despite the reputation of these creatures they are in fact the slowest moving lizard in the U.S.A (Max. top speed 0.5 MPH), they have good eyesight and acute hearing enabling them to avoid contact with man where possible, but if cornered they can show a remarkable turn of speed and agility in turning to face their enemy (humans being their main real threat). For such a clumsy looking lizard they are surprisingly adept climbers, competent swimmers, and reasonable diggers. During the summer months Gila monsters have a preferred body temperature in the mid 80s F, and hibernate overwinter at approximately 50-60 F. Opportunistic feeders they will consume anything they can find, but because they are so slow this tends towards eggs of other reptiles and birds, carrion and the defenceless young of mammals. Gila monsters eat their prey intact, this not only provides them with food but also supplies them with some of their water requirement, important in their desert habitats where water can be in short supply.

Room 2 Crocker Farm School - Mrs. Streeter's Class Room 2's Writing Animal Reports Drawing Map ... Comments Gila Monsters by Luke The Gila Monster is one of only two poisonous lizards in the world! The only other poisonous lizard is the Mexican Beaded Lizard, but I'm going to just concentrate on the Gila Monster. My animal's name is the Gila Monster (pronounced Hee-la). It belongs to a group called the reptiles . It definitely doesn't breathe through gills! It breathes through its lungs. Its scientific name is Heloderma suspectum . It doesn't have a nickname, and it's cold-blooded. Its young are born from an egg. It can't swim because its food is where it lives and there's not much water there. The Mexican beaded lizard is closely related to the Gila Monster. Most Gila Monsters have lots of patterns on their backs. The color pattern is black with yellow, orange or pink spots. It is covered in scales, just because most reptiles have scales. They usually grow to about two to three feet, and weigh up to about two to three pounds. Ten to twelve eggs are hatched at a time. It's approximate life span is twenty years. The Gila Monster lives in South Western United States. States such as, California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico. This animal the Gila Monster lives in the desert. Well, actually any hot, dry, dark, sandy places.

An experimental drug has been developed from the Gila monster's saliva to improve memory and learning. The New York-based biotechnology company Axonyx Inc., which has developed the drug, Gilatide, hopes to use it in human trials later this year. The Gila monster's bite can be deadly, but its saliva contains a chemical which acts on a previously unknown receptor pathway in the brain that affects memory. The animal is native to the southwest United States and Mexico. It's good to be imaginative and inventive when looking for new treatments Richard Harvey, Alzheimer's Society The Alzheimer's Society has welcomed the development, although it has cautioned that any drug breakthrough could be a long way off.

"Pest of the Month" May 2000 The Gila Monster Squamata Helodermatidae Heloderma suspectum Gila Monsters are large, thick-bodied lizards who live in the Southwestern U.S. and Northern Mexico. The environment in which they exist is harsh, arid, and covered in vegetation called Chaparral which the lizards use to good advantage in escaping predators and in pursuing prey. The scrub grass makes an excellent cover for the multicolored lizards as they go about their daily lives. Adults weigh about 12 lbs. and grow to a length of l l/2 to 2 feet. The lifespan of Gila Monsters can be as long as 20 years. Life can be hard for the Gila Monster since their area of habitat is devoid of moisture for much of the year; they must catch and ingest most of their food in the spring months when there is more moisture and, therefore, more abundant prey. These colorful lizards subsist on various eggs, small rodents and animals..such as mice, small rabbits and other lizards. They hunt by flicking their tongues into the air, much as
