What If Cacti INVADED The Amazon Rainforest?

#CactusInvasion #AmazonRainforest #DiscoveredSpecies

What would happen if desert cacti invaded the lush Amazon rainforest?

In this wild thought experiment, we explore how these spiky survivors might disrupt one of Earth’s most biodiverse ecosystems. Could the cactus thrive in constant rainfall? Would it dominate the forest floor... or rot away in shame?

From ecosystem collapse to an unexpected botanical showdown, this one gets weird — fast.
