one of many cholla cacti also known as 'jumping cactus'
notorious for very loose joint attachment, joints attach to hapless by-passers with the slightest brush

  • in soviet russia you jump on cactus

  • Your not supposed to do it like that , always have some secateurs with you in the desert , and a rock if you want to to knock it off , and just pull the last spines out , im not sure if this is the correct way ?

  • they have barbed spines that attach themselves into the skin..

    And I didn't see the pads enough to see what type it was, true jumping cholla is really the Cylindropuntia fulgida but there is also teddy bear cholla aka Cylindropuntia bigelovii

  • @sairfaxroolz813 i really hate the fact that these son of a bitches can jump and attack you... ITS A CONSPIRACY i tell you.

  • Its Cylindropuntia fulgida aka the jumping cholla.

  • yep. those things hurt. a lot. they have histamine activating chemicals so they itch when u pull em out.
