 Facts

 This lizard is the only venomous lizard in all of the US! It uses its snake-like tongue to smell its prey! It hunts at night and rests during the day and sometimes if it has to, it will climb trees in search of prey!

 Only Venomous Lizard in US

 This unique lizard is special for being the only venomous lizard in the United Sates of America and lives in Arizona. Its bites are very painful although there has been no reports of any death. They chew their prey, and the venom moves through grooves in their teeth and kills their prey. The bright side of this is that it only lives in Arizona and places around it, so if you don't live in desert-like places in Arizona you're fine.
