  3. 3 things that happen in a saguaro cactus's life is it has to survive the blasing heat, and it needs to get water from the ground, the last thing is it needs to grow in a shay spot.
    animals use the saguaro cactus as a homeby digging a hole in it, and they could make a bird nest on top of it, and lest but not least the animals like snakes can make a nest when the saguaro topples when its dead.

  4. Three thing that happen in a Saguaro Cactuses life are 1. It's flowers bloom and animals eat the nectar. 2. Animals come and live in it. 3. It dies and decomposes.

    Animals use this plant as a home by putting holes in it and living in those holes. Also they buils nests in the branches {arms}. But the spikes don't seem to bother them. I wonder why?

  7. During the life of a Saguaro Cactus as it gets taller the roots expand longer. The cactus grows flowers. It gives food and shelter to alot of animals. Some of the animals that live in the cactus use the cactus as their home. Birds build nests on the top of them, or inside of it. When the cactus is really old the wind will blow it down and it will decompose. #8

  8. The saguaro cactus' most harsh part of it's is growing from a seed because of the harsh climates the seeds usally burn up if not ouder shade.

    The saguaro cactus also provedies shelter from many animals and birds such as the elf owl to keep there babies away from peadors.

    The saguaro cactus can provied a home and food for many animals and birds for at the most 150 years!

  9. 3 things that happen in the life of a saguaro cactus is that it starts as a flower then the mocking bird drinks pollen out of the flower. after that it becomes a cactus and the mocking birds use it as a shelter for protection and for food. I think the cactus is good protection for the birds.
