Jumping Cholla - Post Attack - Beautiful Arizona Day

BTW that is a segment of the true jumping cholla, C. fulgida.

And NO they don't do that. The segments detach easily so they fall to the ground under the plant often times because of the wind/rain. And no they don't jump onto you you have to brush up against them.

@liberalinthedesertaz Thanks for Info..though,.this was merely an attempt at comedy not real desert dangers.

Hard to believe the cactus was waiting for me walk by and jumped 3 feet to attach itself to my leg & hatch babies sores just inside the epidermal. Man it still Itches real bad....
