Cape Sundews Trap Bugs In A Sticky Situation
Season 7 Episode 13 | 3m 57s | CC
Cape sundews are carnivorous plants that grow in bogs, where they don't have access to many nutrients. So they exude sweet, shimmering droplets from their tentacles to lure in unsuspecting insects. Once their prey is hopelessly stuck, they wrap it up and dissolve it for a tasty meal.
