| phylum | Chordata | The Gila monster is a species of venomous lizard native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexican state of Sonora. Though the Gila monster is venomous, its sluggish nature means it represents little threat to humans. However, it has earned a fearsome reputation and is sometimes killed despite being protected by state law in Arizona.
