This saguaro cactus that has grown in the shape of a T-Rex dinosaur is located next to the Superstition Mountains, just outside Phoenix, Arizona. However, it is said that it is not easy to find if someone does not know its exact location as there are thousands of other cacti surrounding this particular one. Many hikers may just walk right past the T-Rex cactus without even noticing it!
