The Super-Sized Saguaro And Its Greedy Guests

The Saguaro cactus, found in Mexico, Arizona and some parts of California is a giant among its type, growing to the size of a tree. It also gets a number of house guests during its life time. The desert isn't a place that you might normally associate with teeming life, but our planet is full of surprises.

The saguaro manages to survive in extremely harsh climates and, wherever it lives animals are to be found. Some even manage to make the enormous cactus their home.
