The injuries to a 74-year-old man who tried to get a Gila Monster off the road were deemed critical at the hospital, officials say.
Eddie Celaya A Green Valley man trying to scooch a Gila Monster off the road was hospitalized this week after it bit him — twice, officials say.
Witnesses said the unidentified man was trying to move the lizard onto the sidewalk so it would not be struck by a passing vehicle.The severity of the bites required the man be taken to a Tucson hospital where his condition was deemed critical, a department spokesman said. Gila Monsters are a venomous species of lizard native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico. While not typically aggressive, Gila Monsters will defend themselves if they feel threatened or cornered.
