This fuzzy, stubby “teddy bear” cactus looks soft and unassuming, but it’s covered in brittle barbs that break off and embed in skin, causing sharp pain for anyone who touches it. Its branches, wrapped in dense white spines, shed with the wind; and fallen branches can be nearly invisible for inattentive hikers.
