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…
>>
>>4770472
No, 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?
>>
>>4770472
There'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.
>>
>>4770472
They wouldn't be able to carry the weight of their own heads.
>>
As
>>4770530
said, 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.

And vines that wrap around you

Vine 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.
>>
>>4770472
Don't honeydew eat sheep? Or whatever the sticky vines are called.

>>4770472
Thanks doc

STOP FUCKING TALKING ABOUT LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS! I'M TIRED OF HEARING ABOUT IT! "Audrey twoooo Audrey twoooo" SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!
>>
>>4770530
This. A larger carnivorous plant would almost certainly employ some kind of camouflage to make itself look innocuous.
>>
>>4774097
thought this was herbert for a minute lol
>>
>>4770472
the teeth mimicking apex predators could give them some pause
>>
>>4771141
No, but carnivorous plants can eat as many vegans as they wish
>>
>>4774150
>the teeth mimicking apex predators

alternatively, the carnivorous man eating plant would evolve teeth to mimick the tooth-like fruits of another harmless plant
>>
>>4775806
I concur greatly.
