Giant Cacti, Isla Santa Cruz

   
Giant Cacti, Isla Santa Cruz, Bartolomé, Ecuador

To avoid being eaten by land iguanas and giant tortoises, these cacti have long spines. As they mature, they form a hard bark on their trunks and lose their lower spines. Mature leaves are high off the ground, out of reach of ravenous reptiles.
