Plants that eat meat blow my kind. Wonder if there was ever plants big enough to eat large mammals 🫎

To have plants that eat things is crazy

The inside of a Venus flytrap that is digesting its prey is filled with digestive enzymes and glands that break down the insect's body.

Can Venus Fly Traps Really Digest Insects? | Q&A Venus fly traps are carnivorous plants famous for eating small insects. They use a special trap that looks like a mouth with tiny hairs inside. When an insect touches these hairs, the trap snaps shut. The plant then releases enzymes to dissolve the insect, turning it into nutrients. This process helps the Venus fly trap get extra nitrogen, which is not usually available in the poor soil where it grows. It's important not to touch or play with their traps often, as it can tire the plant. Each trap can only snap shut a few times before it dies. #VenusFlyTrap #Carnivore #Plant

Interesting As Fuck: Did you know Trump has two dads?

Bad way to go! lol

"That Venus flytrap is such a drama queen! First, it lures its prey with sweet promises, then it slams the door shut and starts slurping it up. Talk about a plant with a bite!"
