There are a surprising number of plants that are carnivorous, or feed on meat. One of the most well-known carnivorous plants is the Venus flytrap. This carnivore lives in warm, swampy areas where it feeds on flies and any other insect unfortunate enough to land on one of its round, spiky leaves. The leaves are motion-sensitive, and the slightest touch causes a leaf to snap shut, trapping the prey behind a prison of spikes.

Pitcher plants are another quiet carnivore. The plants are long, pitcher-like tube shapes, with wide bottoms full of water to catch and digest their prey. Pitcher plants use different strategies to attract prey. Some give off sweet smells, while others produce nectar. Pitchers have been known to consume anything from insects to small lizards and rodents.
