Giant 'meat-eating' plant found

Giant 'meat-eating' plant found: "A new species of giant carnivorous plant has been discovered in the highlands of the central Philippines.

The pitcher plant is among the largest of all pitchers and is so big that it can catch rats as well as insects in its leafy trap.

During the same expedition, botanists also came across strange pink ferns and blue mushrooms they could not identify.



The botanists have named the pitcher plant after British natural history broadcaster David Attenborough."
