Okay, a gila monster is nobody to be scared of.
For starters, a gila monster spends 95% of his life
just resting in the entrance of a burrow.
And you are just about the luckiest kid
in the Sonoran Desert
because this gila monster has chosen your porch as his burrow.
I don't want a gila monster under my porch.
Uh, okay. How about this?
Gila monsters are one of the few venomous species of lizards
in the world with a poisonous bite
but their venomous bite is a defensive bite.
Gila monsters just like to hang out and be left alone.
Nah.
I'm telling you, Javier, gila monsters are so cool.
I don't want a gila monster under my porch.
Oh, this is going to be a tough nut to crack.
I know.
He is a big lizard.
And to a little kid like Javier, he must look scary.
But if we were littler than him...
And we weren't scared...
Then maybe he wouldn't be scared either.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking, bro?
I think so.
The Miniaturizer?!
You got it, buddy!
And we're going to get mini-sized.
And go under your porch and prove to you
that humans don't need to be afraid of gila monsters.
All right, let's go visit a gila monster.
JAVIER: Be careful.
You said he's got a venomous bite.
He doesn't want to bite anyone.
He just wants to be left alone and asleep in his burrow.
Wow, look at that color.
Most gila monsters are orangey-peach and black,
swirled together into really cool patterns.
And that color is a bright warning
letting other animals know
that this gila monster has a toxic bite
so they don't mess with him.
Uh-oh.
BOTH: A bobcat!
The gila monster's sleeping!
A wild cat can take advantage of that.
Wake up! Wake up!
(Hissing)
Whoa, gila monster held him off.
Cool!
MARTIN: The gila monster is a creature who makes peach a tough color.
Ewww, what kind of monster is peach color?
