Yes, cactus plants are found in the part of Texas called Big Bend country. In fact, the area falls within the Chihuahuan Desert, which is considered an unusually species rich biome. For example, one-fourth of all of the 1,500 known cactus species are found in the Desert. In fact, some are found nowhere else.

Unfortunately, the unique status and appeals of Big Bend country and the Chihuahuan Desert welcome some unwelcome attention. Specifically, cactus rustlers are finding it very profitable to steal and sell Big Bend area plants to cactus buyers in Arizona, California, and Nevada.

Why are there mountains in big bend country?

Big Bend Country is a region of extremes. The desert is dry and hot in the day and cool at night. Plants and animals are adapted for the desert. The mountains provide cold weather in the winter, where on occasion it even snows. Forests grow on the slopes. The slopes of these mountains can grow trees because the high, cooler mountain tops cause precipitation to fall from clouds moving over the peaks.
