My camera shoots fascists

I've been telling people on the trip "I really want to find or at least see a Gila monster! This morning, the first formal documentation day, on the drive up, the people in the lead vehicle found one right in the 4WD road!

The skin is hard and bumpy. Tom Van Devender is holding it, my hand "petting" it in the second photo.

They deliver an **extremely** painful bite. They don't inject venom like rattlesnakes, but latch on and chew saliva into your skin.

A large gila monster, a type of lizard with hard round bumps on the skin that look like intricate beadwork, being held firmly while I reach out my hand to feel the texture. The beaded skin has pale orange, irregular patches in a dark background.
