2Nepenthes attenboroughii
Discovered in 2000, the Nepenthes attenboroughii, or Attenborough’s pitcher plant, is a bit more ravenous than other carnivorous plants. While most meat-eating plants resign themselves to insects and arachnids, the pitcher plant craves mice and shrews, according to the BBC. Being a pitcher, the plant collects water during rains. When rats and other vermin, and even birds, peek their heads in to take a sip, the Philippine plants slap down their lids, trapping their unlucky yet juicy quarries in their football-sized traps and begin dissolving them. New York City’s officials ought to figure out a way to cultivate some of these to take care of that rat problem they’re always talking about.
