A newly discovered plant was discovered here in the part of Palawan. Guest what the plant eats or prey a rat. It secrete some enzymes so that rat will trap then. What a wonder here in our country there's a lot of unknown species here. . the name of the plan is Nephentes Atennboroughii. Spectacular this not the only species found by the Bristish Botanist. Isn't it wonderful that are country has a species like this a carnivorous plant.

How cool is that! thumbup I've heard of insect eating carniverous plants, but never of one that eats rats! I reckon there'd be literally millions of undiscoverd plant species on this planet and especially in places like the Amazon Rainforest. The Philippines has the perfect climate for plant growth too, so I'm sure there are many more undiscovered marvels to be found!

I have seen the venus fly trap before and the pitcher plant, but what they have found now is great. I just hope they don't find anything big enough to eat a human.

Ahahah. It's on the news now and you can read it on the web. That was so huge plant to eat human. And i just wonder what kind of enzyme would it excrete in order to deceive man from being eaten by that plant.

Our country are very rich in natural resources but some people don't pay importance to it instead they destroying our forest. It is a good news to us there they still plant like this that are newly discovered. I think there still indigenous plants and animals are not yet discover.


myLot reputation of 87/100. riezen30 (589)  3 years ago

Some people are so greedy without thinking that they are not the only one who lives here. I agree with you that they continually destroying our nature. I was been so upset when they have some project here in our town for a road widening that the road is already wide they need to cut all those big three. I feel so bad about it that those three are really important giving shed to the road but what their trying to do is cut all those three. They give way to the project just to raise fun on their pocket. People are seems to be greedy all the time. Payment will surely comes to them.

Yeah, that's very interesting indeed. Another reason for the Philippines to get worldwide attention. I hope they also discover a plant that devours rubbish politicians. That will surely be very helpful for the country.

Hmmm.. I hope there's no Human-eating plant... Well, I don't think it's going to be published though since the discoverer could be eaten first before he could actually relay his discovery.. lol..

I'm just bored.. wahehehe.. :-)

This is really cool plant, and I think deep in the Philippine jungles there are a lot of endemic plants or animals waiting to be discovered. The only problem is if the commercialization takes over, then it destroys the natural habitat of the plants and animals. God is so wonderful to create such unique species!


myLot reputation of 87/100. riezen30 (589)  3 years ago

God is creative. He made everything in His purpose that was so amazing. Yes your right all of this are going to extinction because of commercialization.

Wow, I'm glad to hear there's a plant that eats preys. I hate rats at home. They're just all filthy and dirty and so with the roaches. I gotta start planting these plants in my house, especially in the kitchen. Where can I get this in Manila? lol (It's a serious question by the way.. Lol) happy


myLot reputation of 87/100. riezen30 (589)  3 years ago

They are discovered somewhere in Palawan. Thinking that you will gonna pay too much for having it. They are now under the protection of our government. This is not the only species found but several more in that forest.
