Top 10 TERRIFYING Plants That Will Eat You

When people think about plants, they often think of the common trees, flowers, and bushes they see every day. Most don't realize the world has tons of crazy foliage growing all over the place, some of which have the ability to kill any living thing that gets too close. Who needs Triffids when we already have some other worldly plants here on Earth?

Hello and today we're talking about Terrifying plants that want to kill you

1.venus flytrap

When exploring the world of creepy plants, people usually first think of the Venus flytrap, and with good reason. Native to North and South Carolina, these bizarre-looking carnivores like to sit and wait for their prey to land or crawl onto their leaves, which are actually toothy, gaping maws. Once the victim is in place, the flytraps clamp their mouths down and begin digesting their feast with enzymes strong
enough to dissolve human flesh, according to
carnivorous-plant enthusiast Barry Rice.

2.Nepenthes attenboroughi

Nepenthes attenboroughi Discovered in 2000, the Nepenthes attenboroughi 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.

3.Dendrocnide excelsa

Therein lies its treachery. This innocent-looking Australian plant actually possesses an incredibly painful, poisonoussting, which has been known to kill dogs and horses.

4.doll's eye

The actaea pachypoda, or doll's-eyes, looks like a demon out of some Japanese horror movie, despite the fact it's an all-American plant. While a white flower bearing a single black berry looks and sounds innocent enough, having ten or more of them staring at you from their, on average, two-foot-tall blood-red stalk is enough to give anyone the heebie jeebies. When you add the fact that the plant is poisonous is enough to kill a human, it magnifies the plant's demonic nature.

5.drosera cepensis

The drosera capensis, or Cape sundew, is what you get when you cross an octopus with a plant and put its stomach on the outside.
