00:00 The turtle had found a calm and cool place to lay its eggs.
00:04 The monster of Hilla is raging.
00:09 Summer is here.
00:16 The heat is intensifying.
00:18 Dry beds frame the landscape.
00:28 An ideal highway for many residents.
00:31 Including one of the most unnoticeable.
00:39 A monster of Hilla.
00:43 Almost 60 cm long,
00:50 it is the largest lizard in North America and the only one to be venomous.
00:56 It spends 95% of its life underground, inactive.
01:00 But, driven by hunger,
01:03 this female has set herself the goal of finding an easy prey.
01:07 She doesn't have a very good sight.
01:16 She relies on her fang tongue to detect odors up to 180 meters.
01:21 But, she can't find anything.
01:23 Nothing here.
01:29 The hunt continues.
01:32 Finally, something promising.
01:40 This terrier belongs to someone else.
01:48 It's the home of a desert turtle.
01:50 The turtle had found a calm and cool place to lay its eggs.
02:02 The monster of Hilla is raging.
02:08 But, after inspection, she found no eggs anywhere.
02:12 She is ahead.
02:14 This turtle is lucky.
02:19 The turtle is not afraid of the cold.
02:25 It is a very good hunter.
02:28 It is a very good hunter.
02:31 It is a very good hunter.
02:34 It is a very good hunter.
02:36 The hungry lizard female continues her search.
02:42 She can't stay exposed for too long.
02:46 She could burn in the sun.
02:48 It's better not to drag her.
03:02 Finally, she detects a new smell.
03:05 She follows the trail to a quay nest.
03:10 Once she has found her meal, nothing can stop her.
03:16 She gulps.
03:31 She gulps up to a third of her weight in one go.
03:34 The superfluous calories are stored in the form of fat in her body and in her tail.
03:42 Full belly, she can return to her terrier to digest.
03:47 And hide from the biggest predators in the canyon.
