The Creeping Devil is a rare species of cactus that is not only capable of cloning itself to survive, but also of detaching from its major shoot to move through the desert over time.
Most succulent plants are capable of cloning themselves from even a single leaf. They’re often fragile, their leaves drop easily as a propagation strategy, so they migrate around and volunteer
If I didn’t understand the concept of cacti and someone told me there were large spiky cylinders that are alive and clone themselves to crawl across a desert, I’d be horrified.
