U4L5
What is something carnivorous?
YES! To be
carnivorous is to
eat meat or
insects.
Carnivorous Plants
•Some plants grow in soil that
has very little nutrients (like
vitamins).
•They have evolved to get
nutrients from insects and small
animals.
Carnivorous Plants
•They trap animals and then
digest them to get the nutrients
from them.
•Like this…
Carnivorous Plants
•We will look at
three.

Flytrap
Carnivorous Plants
•The Sundew
Carnivorous Plants
•The Pitcher Plant
Venus Flytrap
•They have
small hairs
inside their
leaves.
•The hairs are
triggers (like on
a gun).
Venus Flytrap
•If a small animal touches the
hairs, the leaves close and trap
the animal.
Venus Flytrap
•The plant digests the animal and
absorbs the nutrients from the
dead animal.

The Sundew
•Sundews have sticky tentacles.
•If an insect lands on one, the
other tentacles on the leaf will
move to wrap the leaf around
the insect.
Click and watch me
wrap around my prey.
Pitcher Plant
•Pitcher plants have
special leaves
shaped into deep
slippery pools full of
liquid that digests the
animals that fall in.
