    The North American desert is somewhat alien compared to other deserts on earth, you can just feel something there, it’s a living, breathing desert. It’s so cool how literal owls and woodpeckers reside in cacti to creat a sort of natural defense against predators, and you managed to showcase that perfectly. Great video

      Well the several deserts in North America are just so different, like the Sonoran has all the cacti, then the Mojave has the Joshua trees, Great basin desert is father north, it is really cool if you have the chance to ever spend some time in each of them

    I had never thought about it before, but the holes of the Gila Woodpecker must be really bad for the cactus' water retention. Of course cactuses would have a great mechanism to seal off holes. They have to, or a woodpecker hole could be fatal! This was an interesting look into a new branch of biology. Looking forward to whatever information you share next!

      Yeah having some fun with plants. The scar tissue is really interesting and forms a sort of jug the birds nest in.

    I don’t always give plants enough appreciation, but I have always loved saguaros! They are just crazy looking plants. The natural selection remark made me spit out my water, thanks for that. Great work!

    I rescued an arm of a Saguaro a neighbor was cutting down in my neighborhood. Should I cover it with a wet towel to allow it a “boost” of hydration while it tries to flourish in my yard? It’s 106 today at my home and another video said they need protection’ but to NOT water the base. Your thoughts?

    • @Ecotasia
      @Ecotasia  ปีที่แล้ว

      not sure, shade is good until they get larger

    • @MissysWasteland
      @MissysWasteland ปีที่แล้ว

      Do not water the base until 2 weeks after planting. It needs time to grow roots to absorb water. It could rot if it’s wet with no root system. Let the wound callous over. Give it a week. Then plant in the ground. You might need a shade cloth if you kept saguaro in a shaded spot while it’s wound was healing. If not, No shade cloth needed. Water it 2 weeks after planting it in the ground.
