Specimen photograph of an Opuntia bigelovii (also known as Cylindropuntia bigelovii and teddy-bear cholla) growing in Palm Canyon, one of the Indian Canyons. The Opuntia bigelovii is a cactus native to California, Nevada, Arizona, and northwestern Mexico. The cactus is referred to as teddy-bear cholla due to its soft and fuzzy apperance caused by the fact that the plant's stems are completely covered in spines.
