I grew up in Arizona and learned to love saguaros, palo verdes and desert vistas. |
We are rich with saguaros, prickly pear, and cholla cacti, and palo verde, and mesquite trees. |
Losses such as these severely affect populations of long-lived species like saguaros and desert tortoises, Schwalbe said. |
Lost saguaros, catatonic, above which birds drifted in slow circles, like pieces of ash. |
Invasive buffelgrass is crowding out saguaros and other native cactuses throughout the Southwest, while melting sea ice is threatening the Pacific walrus and polar bear in Alaska. |
During this period, the species feeds on the nectar and pollen of flowering saguaros and organ pipe cactus, contributing to the successful pollination of these succulents. |
