Desert pineapple (SciiFii)

The desert pineapple (Ananas echinos), also known as the sandy pineapple, is a species of fruiting plant, most closely related to the tropical pineapples, that originally did not exist, but has since been created by SciiFii and introduced throughout the scrublands and deserts across North America and South America to help boost biodiversity. The desert pineapples have some adaptations to living in the desert. Their bright yellow color has shifted into a more sandy yellow, hence the name. The leaves have become smaller, as to conserve more energy in the desert. Its roots are also significantly larger than those of tropical pineapples, as to absorb more rain when the time comes. To protect itself against herbivores, the desert pineapple's spines are slightly sharper than those of tropical pineapples, although it is nowhere as sharp as those of cacti and is rarely harmful to touch. The desert pineapple have the flesh that is described as tasting like a cross between a pineapple and a cactus. They spread in a manner similar to the cacti, and they even have the similar form of reproduction. The conservation status of the desert pineapple is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts, the desert pineapple's wide range and its tolerance to many of the human activities.
