| Quote (Henry J @ April 14 2008,20:58) | Can deer eat cactus without hurting themselves on the spines? There's a patch of some kind of cactus near the parking lot where I live, and something has taken bites out of some of its flat oval shaped sections. The shape of the missing pieces suggests something with a fairly large mouth, maybe deer sized.

Yeah, I have seen them do it. Cattle too, even with needles all over their faces. I saw a photo of a steer with pads stuck to his face.
Coyotes are passionate for prickely pear fruit. They get terribly spiked up, and even get diarrhea from the amount of fruit they eat- scat that are merely purple stained mucus and opuntia seeds.
We have junkies, so I see there is no need to feel superior.
