I think I get the impression this is man made.....

 

[Shiva]

Interesting. I wonder what's the biggest critter it can eat?

 

[eOrchids]

Interesting. There is a record of a rat found in the pitchers of N. rajah.

 

[Braem]

I don't think so. I rather assume the bird tried to get something that had fallen into the pitcher ... but of course, one can't fully rule out some man made "joke".

 

[gonewild]

Actually the plant is an egg eater and uses nest mimicry to secure it's prey.

 

[Marco]

That's interesting.

I wonder if we could breed a bigger pitcher plant, one big enough that could feed on dumb politicians. :evil:

[Kavanaru]

[Shiva]

:rollhappy: :rollhappy:

Nepenthes truncata, rajah and merrilliana are known to occasionally catch big prey such as rodents, both in the wild and captivity. This is the first time I've heard of birds being prey to CPs though...

[W. Beetus]

That's an interesting one... Looks like a fairly large bird, too!

 

[Eric Muehlbauer]

Definitely a European bird. I remember my biogeography professor declaring "There are no tits in America!"

 

[NYEric]

:sob:!

 

[Braem]

That would deserve the Nobel Prize ... we have plenty of food for such a plant in Berlin and in our state-capitals as well as in our city governments.

I hope you send him to buy glasses.
