#246 Roadside

Roadside art on one of the highways in Las Vegas. For the inexperienced, the animals are left to right: Road Runner, Gila Monster, and Fox. Behind the wall is the Desert Springs Preserve where Las Vegas began. (I love interstate wall art.)

By the way, Gila Monsters grow to two feet long and are venomous on the same level as coral snakes. There hasn't been a report of a human fatality since 1939. They move slowly compared to a rattlesnake so don't fear. Heat stroke and dehydration are more common dangers in the desert. Gila Monsters just look ferocious.
