The Natural World

on BBC Two England

A Cactus Called Saguaro Standing ten metres tall against a setting sun, the most famous silhouette featured in Hollywood films of the Wild West is in fact a living home. Embraced in its prickly arms or tucked into a multitude of holes are some of the real wildlife of the Sonora Desert - hawks, pack rats, rattlesnakes, bats, black widow spiders and one of the smallest owls in the world. Its flowers and fruits feed both animals and the Papago Indians who gave it a name. But, as the lure of the West increasingly attracts people to live there, this star of the range is in danger of being pushed off the set.
