CACTI

Cacti or cactuses are member of the plant family Cactaceae. The word "cactus" derives from the ancient Greek, kaktos, a name for a
spiny plant whose identity is not certain. Cacti occur in a wide range of shapes and sizes.

Most cacti live in extremely dry environments, even being found in the Atacama Desert, one of the driest places on earth because cacti
can conserve water by doing many adaptions. Almost all cacti have thickened, fleshy parts adapted to store water. Most species of cacti
have lost true leaves, retaining only spines, which are highly modified leaves. The spines help prevent water loss by reducing air flow
close to the cactus and providing some shade.

Cacti are native to the Americas, ranging from Patagonia in the south to parts of western Canada in the north—except for  Rhipsalis
baccifera, which also grows in Africa and Sri Lanka. Cacti have a variety of uses: many species are used as ornamental plants and
others for food (particularly their fruit).

support. Their grip is also aided by the tips of their digits, which are expanded into disklike adhesive pads. Tarsiers
move … (48) the forest by launching themselves from trunk to trunk propelled by their greatly elongated hind limbs.
