Cacti are part of the Cactaceae family, which has more than 2,000 different species. They are native to the American continent, they can be found in hot and arid places. Therefore, cacti have many ecological adaptations that allow them to survive in environments considered deserts. These plants have adaptations for dry environments such as long branches, leaves modified into thorns and tissues that accumulate water. Cacti produce large, usually nocturnal flowers that are pollinated by insects or animals such as bats.
