Gila monster (*Heloderma suspectum*), a large, venomous lizard native to the southwestern United States. Its skin is marked with a distinctive pattern of black and pinkish-orange bead-like scales. Pictured resting on rocky ground, the lizard's robust body, thick tail, and strong limbs are visible. Often found in desert scrubland, it uses its formidable bite for defense and hunting. Here, the natural habitat is arid, with sparse vegetation in the background.
