The Tender Trap
Narrator Hugh Falkus
An extraordinarily dramatic film - about four plants! It sounds impossible but it's not, for the plants are all carnivorous.
Venus fly-traps closing on their insect prey like vegetable versions of a rat trap ...
Sundews with sticky arms baited with sugary bait enfolding their meals in octopus fashion ...
Bladderworts feeding on underwater creatures caught with a fast-triggered blunder trap ... Finally pitcher plants enticing their insect meals to the top of a slide down which they glissade into a flask of insect-rich soup ...
The purpose of all this: to allow these plants to live where other plants can't, an evolutionary trick for survival in places where essential nitrogen compounds are hard to come by. Series editors ANTHONY ISAACS and CHRISTOPHER PARSONS
