*** About Saguaro Cacti: Saguaro cacti, known scientifically as Carnegiea gigantea, are the towering sentinels of the Sonoran Desert, primarily found in Arizona. These majestic plants can grow to over 40 feet tall and live for up to 200 years. Each saguaro's arms begin to grow after the first 75 years, giving it its distinctive profile. Adapted to the harsh desert environment, they store water in their thick, expandable trunks and are covered with a waxy coating to reduce water loss. The saguaro serves as a crucial habitat for desert wildlife, offering food and shelter to birds, bats, and many other species.
