One of the five species of the genus Heloderma, the Gila monster is the only venomous lizard native to the United States. It is sluggish and slow moving, but it has been driven to near threatened status despite being of little threat to humans.

The Gila monster is one of only two species of venomous lizards (its cousin, the Mexican beaded lizard, is the other). It can bite quickly and hold on tenaciously. Rather than injecting venom through hollow fangs like venomous snakes do.
