Scientists only just worked out that the world’s biggest carnivorous plant doesn’t actually eat small mammals, but in fact serves as their public toilet. With the nutrients the pitcher plants get from the poo, it is able to create a nectar much loved by tree shrews.
The incredible result is that:
those furry creatures can feed and defecate at the same time.
Just think how long it took for humans to develop toilets with seat-warmers. All that time those tree shrews were just living it up!
