Realistically speaking, would huge carnivorous plants like commonly depicted in fictional media starve and die out due to not being very subtle about their craft? It’s not like they can give chase to anything…
>>4770472No, because they’d likely focus on ambush tactics like carnivorous plants already do and use some kind of bait or lure to entrap prey
Are vegans allowed to eat carnivorous plants?
>>4770472There's plenty of animals that survive despite being near or completely sessile. Just think of them like slightly less mobile alligator snapping turtles or slightly more mobile sea anemones.
Basically yeah.A carnivorous plant that actively predates, like the cartoonish idea of a man-eating plant, would definitely have to be a camouflaged ambush predator, otherwise fuck all would go near it.
>>4770472They wouldn't be able to carry the weight of their own heads.
As>>4770530said, rats and mice already fall for pitcher plants so this would probably be very similar; a lure for larger animals, perhaps cows or pigs or something.

>>4772350Vine based self puppetry
they would surivie by convcincing awkard beta males to give them food and shelter though charisma, musical numbers, and promises of wealth and power, obviously.
>>4770472Don't honeydew eat sheep? Or whatever the sticky vines are called.
>>4770472Thanks doc
>>4774097STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! I'M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT IT! "Audrey twoooo Audrey twoooo" SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
>>4770530This. A larger carnivorous plant would almost certainly employ some kind of camouflage to make itself look innocuous.
>>4774097thought this was herbert for a minute lol
>>4770472the teeth mimicking apex predators could give them some pause
>>4771141No, but carnivorous plants can eat as many vegans as they wish
>>4774150>the teeth mimicking apex predatorsalternatively, the carnivorous man eating plant would evolve teeth to mimick the tooth-like fruits of another harmless plant
>>4775806I concur greatly.
