The finger cactus, or Mammillaria elongata, adapts to its environment primarily through its specialized structure and water storage capabilities. Its elongated, finger-like segments reduce surface area loss and help minimize water evaporation. Additionally, the cactus has a thick, waxy skin that further protects against moisture loss while allowing it to thrive in arid conditions. These adaptations enable it to survive in harsh environments with limited water availability.

They also may store their internal fluids in bitter or toxic forms. Both efforts discourage predation. But where these are lacking, as in the case of the peyote, other defense mechanisms come into play. With the peyote, it's the production of mind altering hallucinogens.
