Extreme Plant

This scary-looking plant is called the Hydnora Africana. It looks a lot like a venus fly-trap plant, but even worse! This plant smells like dung because one of its favorite visitors is the dung beetle. Eventually the dung beetle crawls into this plant's jaw-like leaves, and then, rather than eat the beetle, it instead traps the beetle alive for a short period of time. The Hydnora Africana's goal is for the beetle to lose bodily fluids so the fluids can pollinate it. After being pollinated the plant opens its mouth, letting the beetle go.
