OCR: Other cacti like the jumping cholla cactus has spines so sharp that it is possible to be impaled by simply touching one. But cacti can also be home to animals. The mourning dove is able to build a nest right in the middle of cactus thorns - possibly an uncomfortable perching place, but one that is safe from predators.
