Arizona: The Saguaro







We spent a night among the beautiful saguaro cactus. They only grow in Arizona, around the Tucson area. The really big ones with lots of arms can be 200 years old. They're also really heavy being mostly water. From a park ranger we learned about a guy who thought it was fun to shoot them but then a saguaro arm fell on him and killed him. Really heavy.
