Carnivorous plants

Did you know that there are plants that eat live animals too? They are carnivorous plants whose main diet is non-veg. They consume insects and small animals. Apart from taking in nutrients from the soil, they actively consume other creatures too. These plants usually grow in nutrient poor soils or regions and try to maximise their nutrition requirement this way.

The most famous among carnivorous plants is the Venus flytrap where it is really fun to watch them trap prey. There are many others like it out in the wild. If you haven't seen these plants in action, check out this small video compilation.
