The plant enjoys eating rats. It has evolved from smaller insectivorous pitcher plants to become a practical rat-eater. It only has to be large enough to hold prey until it drowns.
the URL in the desc doesn't work, but regardless, it's not as if it was just discovered that this plant eats rodents. i had a botany book when i was a child that was published in the early 70's which talked about this plant; i always thought it was super cool.
whats to keep the little guy from gnawing his way out of the plant??
ive seen hole in aluminum panels chewed through by rodents. does it have a pitcher full of acid that the mouse dissolves in??
im not sold.
