There are hundreds of species of carnivorous plants. Most of them turn to animals because their surrounding environment cannot provide the nutrients necessary for growth, so they rely on eating animals to supplement nitrogen and other nutrients.
According to statistics, there are hundreds of species of plants in the world that can eat animals, and they are distributed in every corner of the world.
However, most of these carnivorous plants have "changed their taste" because of the pressure of life. The places where they live are generally barren places with poor soil and no grass.
In order to obtain enough nutrients to maintain life activities, they can only target animals. In fact, the food of general carnivorous plants is some weak insects.
For example, Venus flytraps have leaves that look like "clam shells" with stiff hairs on the edges. Once an insect lands on the leaf, the Venus flytrap will immediately secrete mucus to trap these "stumbling" insects.
"Insects.
If the insect struggles, the Venus flytrap will secrete more mucus. These leaves are not only the "weapon" of the Venus flytrap, but also their digestive organs. Once the insect falls here, it will slowly be "digested" by the mucus.
Fall out and become the delicacy of the Venus flytrap.
Nepenthes are similar to flytraps, except that the flowers of Nepenthes are larger and can prey on larger animals. Frogs and birds fall into the "cage" of Nepenthes, and they can't escape and can only be eaten.
.
There is also a plant in Indonesia that can eat people, called Dianbai.
Some of these trees are nearly 10 meters tall, and their branches all hang down to the ground, like wires.
If a person is accidentally touched by these branches, he will be tightly entangled immediately, and the surrounding branches will gather towards the prey. The person will be trapped in the branches and unable to move, and then the branches will secrete strong sticky glue.
, slowly "digesting" the prey.
Although carnivorous plants do not have sharp teeth like animals, they can secrete "digestive juices" and slowly absorb nutrients from animals.
