Beavertail Cactus @ Lake Mead | [ Sizes: Orig | Small | Thumb ] |
There was an incredible abundance of blooming beavertail cactus that year! Photographed March 2004, Lake Mead NRA, NV Comments[ Post a Comment ] | Anya Jingle | Opuntia basilaris | |

They are quite unusual in cacti family as they lack the large spines that are charasteristic for Prickly Pears and many other cacti.
Beavertails do have spines after all, but they are very small and barely visible.
