There is no such thing as an "average" cactus, because there are many different kinds, and the cacti may be big or small, young or old. Most cacti will have thousands of spikes on them. Big cacti may have tens of thousands of spikes.
Animals that eat Saguaro cactus fruit include birds like Gila woodpeckers and white-winged doves, as well as mammals like coyotes and javelinas. These animals help disperse the cactus seeds, contributing to the Saguaro's reproductive cycle.
Many bugs with spikes have evolved this feature for defense against predators. The spikes can make them difficult to swallow or handle, deterring predators from attacking. Some bugs also use their spikes to grip onto surfaces or other insects, helping them navigate their environment or catch prey. Overall, spikes are a useful adaptation that helps these bugs survive and thrive in their habitats.
Cacti have spiny leaves to reduce water loss by providing shade and reducing air flow around the plant, which helps to conserve water in their arid environments. The spines also act as a protective barrier against herbivores looking to eat the plant.
The bug that has spikes on its back is called a spiny leaf insect.
