THE GILA MONSTER
What does the Gila Monster look like? It is no more than two
feet long. It has small scales on its back. Their colors are
pink and black. The Gila Monster eats insects and animals
like birds, beetles, and lizard eggs. We would not eat that!
It is also nocturnal. Gila Monsters live in hot climates.
They live in Utah, California, Arizona, and Mexico. The Gila
Monster's tail helps it get through the dry season by
storing food in its tail.. It smacks his prey with his tail
and then the Gila Monster's sharp teeth kills its prey by
injecting its poison. It is slow and shy. The Gila Monster
lays three to five eggs.

THE MULE DEER
This is what a mule deer looks like. They are tannish and
brownish. They have a white stomach and a tan and white
face. The mule deer eats different kinds of food throughout
the year. In the early year they eat leaves, buds,
mistletoe, ferns, and blackberry and raspberry vines. The
mule deer eats grapes, twigs, and grass. They also eat fresh
mushrooms. We never knew that they ate that much food
throughout the year. Mule deer are usually found near the
northwestern Pacific coast. We would have guessed that they
lived in more places than this. This is what mule deer do to
sirvive. The mule deer can see from a great distance so they
can run away from their enemies. Mule deer don't have a lot
of enemies. Hunters hunt mule deer and sell them for
$4500.00. The mule deer's other enemies are bigger animals.
We are glad that they don't have a lot of enemies.
