Did cacti exist at the same time that dinosaurs roamed the Earth?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (25149points) April 19th, 2022

Just wondering if they ever bumped into each other? Also if dinosaurs ate, or tried to eat, cactus?

Nope. Cacti are one of the oldest plants to exist, so much that the very first cactus appeared around 35 million years ago. Dinosaurs went extinct about 65 million years ago.
