Carnivorous Plants Capable of Eating Rats


Yes, you read that right. Giant, freaking, carnivorous plants, large enough that they are able to trap and consume rats. Rats. Ok, last time I checked, rats are bigger than most people's hands, so really, what the scientists who found this new breed of pitcher plant in a little jungle of horrors in the Philippines should really be saying is: "hey, maybe you shouldn't stick your hand in there." Ok, at this point, I think I would rather be on the losing side of a robot uprising than the possibility of a killer plant uprising. Thank you to reader Moxie for the lead on this particular panic inducing story!
