Maricopa County Parks and Recreation: Discovery Station – Venomous Creatures

Animals can be dangerous, no doubt. But does the rattlesnake have a bad attitude or just a bad agent? Are Gila monsters really scary, and if they are what does that actually mean? Ranger Shaun’s here to talk about it! Rattlesnakes. Gila Monster. Scorpions. Our desert is full of iconic critters with bad reputations all out to get us…or are they? Ranger is here to help answer that question, challenge some misconceptions and set the record straight. While these animals may not be safe to approach, few wild animals are! But they are no more trying to kill you than are elephants, zebra, deer, or coyote.
