Curio Folio: Disconnected Cacti

Since I started the Curio Folio, a collection of things you have never seen or heard of before, people are saying, oh its fake, he made it up, what a fraud. And he calls himself a scientist? To convince the skeptics, here I provide evidence of the Disconnected Cacti, its scientific name is Cactus Disconnectus,  or the walking cacti as they call it in Texas. The reason the walking cacti is rarely seen is that it walks, like away from people. Often times its just their foot prints in the sand, like little divots that go back and forth. It walks by rocking its body side to side. Fossil records go back for millions of years, there seemed to have been giant four legged-walking cacti the size of dinosaurs. So how did I get to making this painting? The new professor in our department is American, and she said her grandparent talked to a person from Texas and got an accurate description of what it looked like. The painting is thus a realistic depiction of an adult cactus walking with an adolescent cactus holding hands. They might be going to get some pop tarts.
