A rough life for a Saguaro

When I was out taking photos at night, I noticed these two Saguaros looked like they were pretty chewed and cut up. I figured I would get closer and get a decent shot of them close up so you can see them and the battle scars they have from all the years of living. It looks like some birds have made nests in them and woodpeckers had had a field day making tiny holes all over just to find the right spot. I suspect they have many more years to go especially if they are around 80 years old. They can live up to two hundred years, so they will be here long after I have turned into fertilizer. What would you change if you could live for two hundred years?
