Uploaded by: waywardmuse Video Description:
Gila Monster with Red-Tailed Hawks and Harrier Hawk in the wild! (actually, after future sightings think the other hawk might have been a red-tail too.) This is the first sighting of Glow -- star of "Gila Monster Returns."
Awesome video!!! Thank you for the commentary, especially stating that it is illegal to disturb these animals without special permit. They are amazing creatures that are suffering habitat loss by leaps and bounds. The only safe refuges will be our state parks, and that may not be enough for them to maintain genetic diversity.

I lived in Phoenix from 1977 to 2005. I've seen desert tortoises, a mountain kingsnake, almost every other desert snake and lizard...but never a damn Gila Monster. Nice finds. Thanks for posting on Youtube. Arizona rules!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Jacob. What a joke! (ie. these myths). I now live in Missouri...and their lack of snake fears seem to be even higher than in Phoenix. Most local's attitude is "if I see a snake I kill it" regardless of what kind it is. I hate that shit. Dumb asses. Hehehehe. Happy Halloween and let's give a collected one slap in the face to all those who kill reptiles...and any other animal in a needless fashion for that matter. Later. Sonorandesertman!
