It can grow over 40 feet tall and live for more than 150 years. These giant cacti serve as crucial habitats for desert wildlife, offering nesting sites for birds such as the Gila woodpecker and the elf owl. Despite their robust appearance, saguaros are highly sensitive to frost and rely on the warm climate of the Sonoran Desert to thrive.
