Trivia: Which cactus is described as “teddy bear”?
Mammillaria
Saguaro
Rebutia
Cholla
The correct answer is Cholla
So why is this answer correct? : When first glancing at a teddy-bear cholla, your first instinct might be to give the cactus a big hug because of its fuzzy appearance — but that would be a big mistake. While the cholla cactus looks irresistibly snuggly at a distance, up close, the plant is a nightmare of spines that are extremely difficult to remove from the skin thanks to their backward-pointing barbs. In other words, keep a safe distance.
