Baby Please Don’t Go

The skeleton of a dead saguaro leans against a living saguaro in McDowell Sonoran Preserve in Scottsdale, Arizona on December 22, 2024. Original: _Z723738.NEF

Like tarantulas, saguaros must periodically shed their exoskeleton in order to grow. Once the new skeleton hardens they are free to roam the desert once more, though the old one sometimes has a hard time letting go.
