We need to give these and other creatures some respect and ensure that they have a place to live. Even if only for our own selfish reasons, we need to ensure their survival since we never know when they might prove useful to us.

I was fascinated by the Gila Monster, which I still think of as a beautiful creature. I sincerely hope that people will respect this species and leave it alone so that it never faces extinction. Thank you for a pleasurable read. RB One of the first books I had as a child was about reptiles of the United States.
