interesting...

the mountain is famous for its many carnivorous plant and orchid species, most notably nepenthes rajah. its is also home to a multitude of endemic animal species, including the kinabalu giant red leech and kinabalu giant earthworm.

holy little cow of horrors!

a carnivorous plant (sometimes called an insectivorous plant) is a plant that derives some or most of its nutrients (but not energy) from trapping and consuming animals or protozoans, especially insects and other arthropods.

i think i prefer the term "insectivorous".

the photo below is how i picture a carnivorous plant ... (((tenen-tenen-tenen)))
