Distinguished by their upward-reaching arms, these cacti are not just iconic symbols of the desert; they are vital parts of their ecosystem. Saguaros provide habitats for desert wildlife, including birds such as the Gila woodpecker, which makes nests in holes dug into the cactus. A saguaro only starts to grow arms when it is 70 to 100 years old and can live for 200 years, making it a witness to centuries of environmental change.:
