A really great idea to show them about, although the video was a bit too sensationalistic and at some points inaccurate. Would be great if they ever had a chance to see a carnivorous plant in real life. A trip to a botanical garden maybe? Also, you could show them the Deadliest Garden in the World from the channel BBC Earth Unplugged. Very entertaining and informative, and also top legitimate ;)
It's crazy to think of a spider, who traps insects in its web, getting trapped in a plant. None of these deaths seem like a good way to go! Glad the guys found this vid interesting
Should show them a video about the plants of the amazon. theyre pretty impressive. another one im sure they would be amazed by the Great Redwoods in california. It may not be around forever but once you see them you will never forget them. That being said,,,they are also some of the oldest trees in north america.
Someone who grows a variety of carnivorous plants, this grabbed my attention and enjoyed seeing the guys learn about them. However, there was a fair amount of sensationalism throughout the video and some misinformation. The moccasin plant isn't a pitcher plant, but is a slipper orchid and is harmless their visiting pollinators. The tropical pitcher plants in the video may look scary to those you've never seen them, but they never cause harm to a person and only to any rodents that happen to accidently slip in. Then there's the sundews, which have different species in the Drosera genus that can be found in other places around the world than Spain and Portugal.
As an Australian it still amazes me how my country is viewed too having the biggest and scariest creatures and yet its always by youtube channels that have never been here and as a note we rarely see 99% of our creatures in a life time unless you go looking for them 🙄
Saw an aussie youtuber make a comment that had me dying. Americans/Canadians are always saying how Australia has all these deadly creatures just chilling in the outback when out here we have giant creatures like Moose, Bears, Cougars, etc. I mean, I get it, but I still think Australia has the scarier wildlife 🤣🤣
Nepenthes "monkey cups" are fabulous plants for the home, they don't exactly attract flies since most species are actually adapted to feeding animals with nectar and having them use the cups as a toilet to feed the plant. But they are stunningly beautiful and there are thousands of hybrids made for home cultivation, all sorts of shapes and colours!
The "Venus Flytrap" is ONLY native to the swamps of Southeastern North Carolina where I grew up. To collect wild plants you have to buy a license and provide proof of your collecting.

Native to northeast India and Thailand, the shrub with vivid violet flowers. "
Yeah I've got a Venus flytrap... It's a beautiful plant, but it's kinda picky when it comes to eating. I've tried to feed it black liqorice, but it seems it doesn't like it. For some reason ground beef seems to be to hard for the Venus to digest, so I've stopped experimenting, and let my Venus fight for itself.
Australia 🇦🇺 has a plant called Moon-Lighter/gympie-gympie plant also known as (Suicide-tree) and is known to be the world's most painful sting ✨ so painful that some people have committed suicide 😩🔥
The video excludes Bromeliads and Trumpet Pitcher Plants. Usually most carnivorous plants only exist in areas of poor nutrient soil. None are large enough to catch a person, even the size of a newborn baby. Well, there is a possible exception but it kills by poisonous contact. Another dangerous tree that can kill people is the coconut tree, which I'm sure these villagers are familiar with.
I always wondered what plant Victreebel was based on. I miss arbok and wheezing and James could have totally taken down ash and the others even Misty if he kept Growlithe and evolved it...but I digress
The interesting thing is the prey has no defenders against plants. Animals can at least be shied away with smells, stings or bites. It’s scarier from the prey’s perspective.
Most carnivores plants eat insects. And sometimes very small other animals. Mice can get out because of their sharp teeth. No they won’t eat monkeys. Tomatoes are carnivores too. Insects get stuck on the hairs of the stem.
Figs too I hear, wasps love to feed on the fruit but its sticky and any that get stuck in the fruit simply get absorbed into it completely, it doesn't feed the plant but it means the figs might contain liquefied wasp.
Hi, are you ok? I'm starting to worry about some of you with the thumbnails you choose... the one for this video, another similar channel with a recent video with a thumbnail of a turtle pushed into a shredder (but the video just uses an old shell, hopefully not one from a murdered turtle)... and interesting idea and video but please remember we are animals too, we're not plants or mollusks or viruses or bacteria (though that's debatable...) or whichever, we're all very similar animals/almost the same except for our temporary bodies, so all the more reason to be kind to all (:
