Watch out… this plant eats meat! While it normally feeds on insects, the pitcher plant (Nepenthes rajah) has also been known to snare vertebrates including lizards and small mammals. Its sizable pitcher, a modified leaf, can contain up to 34 oz (1 L) of fluid, which is often enough to drown small critters that happen to fall in. Powerful digestive acids are then released as the plant breaks down and absorbs its prey.
