Webs of Life: Saguaro Cactus

Webs of Life provides a fascinating look at this giant of the desert, a species that towers over all other plants in the desert, growing slowly during its entire 200 year life-span. As oaks are to the forest, this species is to the desert - hundreds of animals utilize it for shelter, nesting, and food. In and around the saguaro cactus is woven an intricate and hardy web of life. Dramatic photographs are found throughout; recommended for ages 6 to 10.
