@@Gorrgrim That's honestly stupid logic coming from you when considering that plants only react to basic stimuli while animals are much more complex and can even have emotions.
Imo the pictures are poorly chosen here. Im certain that Kew garden has some nicer nepenthes and also a real N. rajah to show. The documentary talks about nepenthes but showing sarracenia (and even cephalotus) simultaneously. Yes, those are also pitcher plants but in a way different habitat, different species, form, digestion system, etc. A stem size of 6m is not uncommon for some nepethes, however showing a sarracenia pitcher while saying this is very confusing. When you talk about lions you arent showing pumas, right? The "lotus effect" (like its name suggests) comes from the lotus leaf surface and is afaik not within pitcher plants.
I'm so glad someone else said it! The KEW had one of the first N. Rajahs in cultivation, but they showed a Truncata? Not to mention the wrong info and location of Saracennias... What gives?
And no Heliamphora. Goes to show that when you're really informed on a subject, these documentaries can fall short. Still, nice to see any coverage of these plants!
This video is really inaccurate. Most of the pitcher plants shown were not Nepenthes but rather Saracennia which primarily grow in North America. They are a lot closer to you than you might have thought!
Try giving one a tiny piece of milk chocolate. Just a tiny piece. My plants drooled over it. The book I learned about it in also mentioned soft cheese and soap, but the problem with soap is the kind they sell to day is i'm guessing poisonous. Soap used to be made with rendered animal fat, not lye, which is where the "myth" of fishing with bar soap comes from. Used to be true and effective. Now you have idiots sticking chunks of dove soap on a hook. You'll hear about old myths of soap being used for stuff like this, but it used to be made of animal fat.
@@FullmetalAngyl I think I need to pick one up and give this a try! Like to try the chocolate as well as feeding bugs. You're right about the soap, it' made different now, would be poisonous
Wow, terrible research BBC! This video talks about Nepenthes and how they grow in Asia, shows a bunch of plants that aren't Nepenthes, then literally zooms into the inside of a Saracennia that is native to North America... He then starts talking about the sugary nectar Nepenthes make while showing the interior of a Saracennia that doesn't produce nectar. After that they talk about a Nepenthes Raja while zooming in on a Nepenthes Truncata. They go on to mention that Nepenthes Rajah eat rats which isn't true at all... they actually produce food for the rats who then fertilize the pitcher with their feces. Not a very good video.
I’m a huge carnivorous plant geek, recently I bought a 6 layer shelf and hooked up high quality grow lights on each one, now I have 360 carnivorous plants growing in my bedroom, mostly tropical sundews tho. Flytraps are a hassle because of dormancy.
You beat me to it. I would recommend looking up the antlion which could pass as a real life Trapinch and there is a deep sea snail (I forget the name) that actually incorporates iron into its shell (it lives around deep sea vents) and looks like Magcargo. Plus the mantis shrimp is clearly a water/fighting type pokemon.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE WATCHING THESE VIDEOS IT REALLY SHOWS OUR PART IN THE EXTINCTION AND HOW TO SOLVE IT!! RIP DAVID A. HE WAS THE BEST NARRATOR!!!!! LIFE 2022
They keep showing plants that are from different Generas, Cephalotus is native to ONLY australia, and Sarracenia are native to the Eastern side of North America.
A few years ago, we vacationed at an island that has pitcher plants (Nepenthes abalata). Had lots of fun chatting with the tour guides about the local flora while everyone else was taking selfies. 😅
@@twistedmindssweettea Nice! I also live in a hot, humid place. (Philippines) However, they don't grow around my area often because of other non-native plant species. 😅 We've got plenty of moringa, though. 😂
Dear BBC Earth, Could you upload your videos 4K video quality it would be very nice watching if there would be a HDR video setting too it would almost be like real life!
I live in Florida and just went camping in the green swamp... Got to see sundew plants and Butterwort plants and I'm sure there were plenty of pitcher plants but who I was with was there to hunt hogs so I didn't get to search like I usually would have. I wanna go bag l back.
I am from Borneo and we have a local dish thats made from pitcher plants filled with steamed rice with pork/chicken fillings. Of course the pitcher plant is only for wrappings.
Look, we all make mistakes in life.. but Mohammad was 51 when he married a 6 year old, consummating at 9. How can you believe someone who started war and persecuted non believers. What does love mean to you then?
She was 9 at the time of marriage and according to the environmental conditions prevailed in that area girls reached to puberty at that age. It was all Allah will as a young girl can observe well what were the teachings of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), what he did in every aspect of life and can guide his fellower afterwards for a long time. May Allah show you right path Aameen
It was not a forceful marriage and if both partners are willing in a marriage then what objection you have. she reached to puberty at the time of marriage according to the environmental situation prevailed in that area. May Allah show you right direction. Ameen
I escaped one of these before, wasn't easy to get out and in the process I lost one of my legs from the acid inside. Glad to be alive and don't want to go through that again.
None of the plants they showed grows in Australia. They actually mislabeled most of them and all their info about them was wrong. In fact most of these plants weren't even Nepenthes, but rather Saracennia that grow in North America.
Nepenthes Raja (which wasn't even the plant they showed) doesn't eat rats. It feeds rats and eats their feces as fertilizer. This video was wrong about just about everything they showed and said.
Carnivorous plants are really fascinating!
🤪
@@Zabilion ?
Most amazing plants ever imo
Trues up
I cultivate them and yes, they are really fascinating!
Cephalotus follicularus are some amazing miniature pitcher plants I have a couple myself and love them
I love how they had probably the worst example of a large pitcher when talking about them
It was good to see they had one in the video and not just the usual Sarracenia or Nepenthes. Now they just need some footage of Heliamphora!
Mine have 5 pitchers in a pentagonal ring 😁 they are lovely
I've been wanting one for a while
I can't handle the soundtrack on this series.
Humans: Don't eat meat, eat plants.
The plant: Fine, we'll do it ourselves.
Priceless 😂
Veggies act like plants arn't alive so it's more moral to eat plants. However when you speed plants up they look an awful lot like an animal...
@@Gorrgrim That's honestly stupid logic coming from you when considering that plants only react to basic stimuli while animals are much more complex and can even have emotions.
@@ReeferSmoker Once again, those are basic stimuli, and not comparable to animals. Even insects have brains and can make somewhat complex decisions.
@Imagine Dinosaurs That's some dumbass logic lol. The definition of vegetarian is "a person who does not meat, and sometimes other animal products."
This stuff is insane. I had a mini Venus flytrap plant once, and it was so cool. 🌱
It's a great plant to have but does it kill flies
@@zagrosqazy3798 yes it does
"Had"? Did your plant die? Because if so, how?

Thank you. Saying nepenthes while showing sarracenia and cephalotus was driving me nuts. I expect better from the BBC
BBC makes the ultimate nature videos 🙏🏻
So beautiful
Yes thank u this stuff is so amazing I am a Horticulturalist but I live in Canada so these plants are just very majestic like beautiful thank you
Learn to talk my guy
Come visit the Carolinas to your south, we also have carnivorous plants
We have lots of pitcher plants here in Ontario and many other varieties of carnivorous plants. Look wherever soil is poor
This video is really inaccurate. Most of the pitcher plants shown were not Nepenthes but rather Saracennia which primarily grow in North America. They are a lot closer to you than you might have thought!
Sundew plants are one of my faves of all the carnivorous plants 🙌

Sarracenia produce nectar though.
@@ivanlagrossemoule some do, but that species doesn't. Notice the pitcher they zoom into is empty.
Nice info. What is your background in horticulture as you seem very well versed
Also, he said there are pitchers 6m tall? 18ft pitcher plants? 2 story pitcher plants?!
Don't forget the really irritating and distracting 'music' too.
Where´s Mr. Attenborough :/

سبحان الله وبحمده، خالق كل شيء
Wow..amazing bro..👍👍👍❤❤❤
A plant that eats meat? This is the kind of stuff you only read about. Nature never cease to amaze me.
Shout out to Pikes Nursery!
Like face burning acid! That's scary! Tough job!
If you're waiting till we're dead to solve any of our crimes! Please remember this post!
I love that they grow their own umbrellas
Victreebel in mass quantities today…
wow cool
I love all my nepenthes plants. So unique
My boy Bellsprout has come a long way, baby.
Nice ones!🌺
Please don't call Sarracenia speacieses Nepenthes. Nepenthes has "jug" on the tip of leaf. Sarracenia has whole leaf as trap.
Natural Born Killers I love the way that sounds
you know who else loved it?
I LOVE LOVE LOVE WATCHING THESE VIDEOS IT REALLY SHOWS OUR PART IN THE EXTINCTION AND HOW TO SOLVE IT!! RIP DAVID A. HE WAS THE BEST NARRATOR!!!!! LIFE 2022
But David Attenborough is still alive.
Top Video👍
Everything in it was 100% wrong.
Masterpiece ever. Greatness
Most of the footage isn't nepenthes.
The bead of water was on a lotus leaf.
Hi! How are you?
Tomorrow is the weekend this week. I hope you have a healthy day on weekends and holidays. Thank you.
Did you hire the Discovery Channel team to do this segment for you?
They keep showing plants that are from different Generas, Cephalotus is native to ONLY australia, and Sarracenia are native to the Eastern side of North America.
Wow! This is so impressive!
I've always been interested in carnivorous plants.
I love carnivorous plants too, but don't get your information about them from this video. It is really shoddy and inaccurate.
Hi
Wow..!!This is so impressive.
i think that is neat, letting the food come to them and then folding or sucking them into the trap like that
What happened to the production quality of these videos? Pixelated Images, Repetitions of Segments, Stock Footage, BBC Logo above old BBC Logo etc.?
A few years ago, we vacationed at an island that has pitcher plants (Nepenthes abalata). Had lots of fun chatting with the tour guides about the local flora while everyone else was taking selfies. 😅
Those grow in the ditch next to my home. Pitcher plant grow in hot humid places. Florida is one

very cool video bro
Very nice 🌹
Is that the Overcooked soundtrack at the end? Good choice for this vid.
I swear I heard that funny background music at 2:50 on a cooking game XD
New. Very beautiful your video.

Camera works is too good 👍🏻
Good.
Totally loving all videos... I want more pls 🙏😌💖
Feed me Seymour
finally, more exposure for this plant
ليتكم تترجمون المقطع الى العربية عند بثه.
idk if you guys know...but we can drink it's "juice"😅
Dope
I remember this pitcher plant studied in seventh standard..... Carnivores plant 🌷
....but they are also in Oregon... I've seen em in California too but it is not as big.
This nature is so wonderful
Saxiovexxx
Greatness
I have a bunch of nepenthes species, venus flytraps, and sarracenias getting a few cephalotus soon they're soo cool
Excelente documental, pero necesito la voz de David Attenborough...👌👌👌👌
How can i see the full documentary?
I'm not from the UK
It's very dengerous plants 😱😱😱😱😱
Wow !! it's so impressive!!
Unbelievable!
Amazing
I am from Borneo and we have a local dish thats made from pitcher plants filled with steamed rice with pork/chicken fillings. Of course the pitcher plant is only for wrappings.
Truly truly Amazingly Beautiful!!!
You're showing cephalotus, sarracenia, and nepenthes, and referring to them all as nepenthes. Come on, BBC.
Gelungenes Video Gruß Jürgen 🤠

AUSTRALIA got every dangerous animals n plants

Sounds like Richard Hammond 😂

Ini tontonan yang luar biasa. Dan saya selalu takjub dengan setiap gambar yang ditampilkan. ❤️🤗‼️
Me encantan las plantas carnívoras

Need to add that most carnivorous plants need fires to survive - as it nourish the habitat they are in.
I recognize this Pokémon
We have the pitcher plants in California & the most famous carnivorous plant the Venus Fly Trap is only found in North Carolina also in the US.
Wow
Giant Gippsland blue earthworms in Australia?
nice
I was thinking rats jokingly but RATS?!?!
They do but by accident and can’t digest them
Nepenthes Raja (which wasn't even the plant they showed) doesn't eat rats. It feeds rats and eats their feces as fertilizer. This video was wrong about just about everything they showed and said.
Carnivorous plants?! Wow, go figure.
Hey,, how many type of lizard🦎???
There are pitcher places in Mississippi.
Where is David Attenborough
in Indonesia we call it Kantung Semar
I’m not surprised the nepenthes rajah is endangered considering the amount of illegal lodging happening here 🤐
Carnivorous plants really seem to be “alive”🤔
