A common cactus is the prickly pear [Opuntia spp]. It includes over 360 species. It's found natively from Canadian North America all the way southwards through Argentina and Chile. So it claims the largest numbers of any of the different types of cactus plants.

Cacti do not actually grow tentacles. What you may be seeing are new growths called "pups" or "offsets," which are common in some cactus species.
