It turns out that there are monster lizards in the world, some of which are capable of injuring and even killing a person! However, forewarned is forearmed. Read about the most dangerous lizards in our material.The Gila monster<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_200496722_L_1_1_a50af201d3.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_200496722_L (1) (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_200496722_L_1_1_a50af201d3.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_200496722_L_1_1_a50af201d3.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_200496722_L_1_1_a50af201d3.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_200496722_L_1_1_a50af201d3.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">These lizards are considered the most poisonous in the world! The habitat of the Gila monster is the southwestern United States and the northern regions of western Mexico. You can meet these lizards in thickets of cacti, among tall grass and shrubs, in deep gorges, and on the slopes of mountains. These lizards are excellent swimmers, so sometimes they settle next to a pond. The dimensions of the Gila monster are quite large - the body length is about 60 cm, and a third of the length is occupied by the tail. The weight of an individual is from 1 to 2 kg. The lizard's poison is very toxic: one-tenth of a cubic centimeter is enough to kill a dog weighing 12 kg. And the total amount of animal poison is enough for 12 dogs.&nbsp;The green iguana<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_115158574_L_1_1_81a6667c64.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_115158574_L (1) (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_115158574_L_1_1_81a6667c64.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_115158574_L_1_1_81a6667c64.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_115158574_L_1_1_81a6667c64.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_115158574_L_1_1_81a6667c64.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">Today iguanas have become very popular as pets, this giant ancient reptile has become the best alternative to a dog but they are extremely dangerous. Ordinary iguanas can weigh up to 7 kg and measure over 1.5 meters in length, which is why these huge lizards cannot be mistaken for a comic attack. You may visit the emergency room if you are attacked by this creature. In the wild, iguanas live in tropical and semi-humid forests of Central and South America. So we advise you to be extremely careful when walking in these places.The Nile monitor<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_414278668_L_1_1_30b57640c7.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_414278668_L (1) (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_414278668_L_1_1_30b57640c7.jpg 235w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_414278668_L_1_1_30b57640c7.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_414278668_L_1_1_30b57640c7.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_414278668_L_1_1_30b57640c7.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">The Nile monitor lives in the central and southern regions of the African continent, including Central Egypt (along the Nile River) and Sudan. Nile monitors grow up to 9 feet long! If the Nile monitor feels threatened by a human or other potential intruders, it can grab the victim with an iron grip, from which it's very difficult to free itself, since the lizard will not want to open its jaws. This lizard can break human bones!The Komodo dragon<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_14037525_L_1_0e14bb1ab7.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_14037525_L (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_14037525_L_1_0e14bb1ab7.jpg 245w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_14037525_L_1_0e14bb1ab7.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_14037525_L_1_0e14bb1ab7.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_14037525_L_1_0e14bb1ab7.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">There are known cases of these predators attacking people with a fatal outcome. In addition to powerful jaws, the poisonous glands of the monitor lizard also pose a danger - when bitten, toxins can cause shock, paralysis, and loss of consciousness in the victim. Currently, Komodo dragons live on several islands in Indonesia - so be extremely careful when traveling there.&nbsp;The Mexican beaded lizard<img src="/uploads/Depositphotos_25776793_L_1_bb043e2b26.jpg" alt="Depositphotos_25776793_L (1).jpg" srcset="/uploads/thumbnail_Depositphotos_25776793_L_1_bb043e2b26.jpg 241w,/uploads/small_Depositphotos_25776793_L_1_bb043e2b26.jpg 500w,/uploads/medium_Depositphotos_25776793_L_1_bb043e2b26.jpg 750w,/uploads/large_Depositphotos_25776793_L_1_bb043e2b26.jpg 1000w," sizes="100vw">This dangerous lizard lives on the coast of the Gulf of California in western and southwestern Mexico, penetrating about 275 km inland. The animal grows up to 95 cm, but usually, its body length is much less. In the distant past, these individuals were quite harmless to themselves. They had no way to defend themselves from enemies, so mother nature decided to reward them with at least one effective weapon, and let poison through the salivary glands, which was previously absent. When bitten by the Mexican beaded lizard's tooth, infections or anaphylactic shock are possible in the presence of allergies. So be extremely careful!

The most dangerous lizards and where they exist in the world 

About one and a half thousand thunderstorms, accompanied by thunder and lightning, rumble on our planet every minute. But there is a country where this happens most often, and there is a country in which this natural phenomenon does not happen for several years. Of course, at first glance, this may seem like an impossible fact, but nature has its whims.You have probably noticed the fact that thunderstorms almost always occur in the warm season when the temperature of the air above the ground rises. However, snow storms also occur in winter once every few decades. This is a very rare phenomenon because the formation of a thunderstorm requires the coincidence of a very large number of meteorological conditions.When an electric storm rages outside the window, you donʼt want to leave the house. And this is the right decision because thunder is usually accompanied by strong winds, heavy downpours, and lightning discharges, so leaving the house can be simply dangerous. You probably didnʼt know that the most powerful tornadoes, the rotation speed of which can, in theory, be supersonic, are formed precisely under a thunderstorm front. And the energy produced during a thunderstorm is comparable to a powerful nuclear bomb explosion. But this is only science.If you are very afraid of thunderstorms, you will be interested to know where they donʼt exist. The only places on our planet where this natural phenomenon does not exist are the North and South Poles. That is because an important ingredient for thunderstorm development is a flow of rising moist air that condenses into precipitation particles that generate electrical charges sufficient to trigger lightning, an ingredient that is noticeably absent at the poles.But in addition to these parts of the world, there is also a country where there are almost no thunderstorms. And this is Egypt. This country generally has fairly stable weather conditions all year round, except for winter. This natural phenomenon in this country can happen once every few years.There is another interesting fact related to the Australian Tiwi Islands. Due to the coincidence of several weather conditions, a storm cloud first forms above them and then disappears. This allows pilots of local airlines to use such a phenomenon as a reference point.But most often thunderstorms happen in Argentina. Because the Andes mountains help to lift warm, moist air coming from the north (from the Amazon Basin), which collides with cooler, drier air, from the south, promoting the formation of powerful storms.Also, most lightning occurs over Lake Maracaibo. Such a conclusion was reached by climatologists from the United States and Brazil, who observed thunderstorms on Earth from a satellite for 16 years.Well, nature is a great inventor. But remember that a thunderstorm is one of the most dangerous natural phenomena. Therefore, you should be very careful when you see that it is about to come.If you would like to know more facts about natural phenomena, read our articles. We have collected for you the most complete information about our amazing world.
