Choose a plant or animal that you think is interesting. describe some of the threats or challenges
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

If I were to choose a plant or animal which is interesting, I'd choose the "cactus."

Explanation:

A "cactus" is truly a splendid plant owing to its <em>ability to survive in the desert </em>or<em> periods of drought.</em> Growing them is also not that challenging or difficult. However, this plant is prone to certain threats that may lead to its extinction.

  • One of these threats is the <em>"over-collection of cacti." </em>Due to its versatile use, the cactus is often sold as an ornamental plant.
  • Another threat is the number of pests, such as <u>snails</u> and<u> slugs</u>, that attacks it yearly. It is a delicious food for<em> mealy bugs, red spider mites, gnats, flies, etc.</em>
  • People often misunderstand the <u>cactus' water level need</u>s. Some people over-water the plant and this often results to the bacteria, virus and fungi being attracted to it.
