Brambles have the same reputation for the exact same reason. Wool is an amazing defense mechanism as on one account a sheep escaped its shepherd and went on to grow a gigantically fluffy coat which then prevented any predation via predators as their teeth couldn’t penetrate the wool armor. However, it also leads to these types of thorny plants from earning carnivorous monikers as the wool can become very tangled by the bramble vines, and sheep mysteriously just wait to die after a very short struggle.
Note about birds and why they fly into your car. Yes, they could theoretically fly two feet higher, but they're actually using the natural air currents of the cars going by to minimize the effort it takes to maintain flight. On occasion, those air flows cause the birds to dip too low and run into cars.
Day of the triffids is actually a BOOK that has been adapted multiple times. The reason the triffids are so deadly, is because over 90% of the plannet is blinded at the same time the triffids escape. So people CAN'T run away. Those few who can see enough that they can run, are now faced with a plannet overun with slow moving deadly pants that only need to get lucky once.
Yeah. I actually read the book and it's not terrible. It's the issue of, I am the only person who can see and I need to look after this massive troop of basically bumbling idiots because I'm not a terrible person.
Day of the triffids has a remake which I think works fairly well, as in the movie 60ish percent of the population gets blinded by a extra strong solar flare that occured while everyone was told to look at the sun to watch the fun solar flare.
its funny to hear about smart sheep, a friend showed me footage of a sheep on his farm scaring itself by farting the knocking itself out running away straight into a wooden fence.
One of my grandparents neighbors had a flock of sheep that learned their farmed schedule to the point that they could leave through a hole in the fence when nobody was home, then returned before they came back. Nobody found the hole in the fence for almost a month
I've seen the same thing said about brambles, it was noted that the bramble thorns all are directed to direct snared prey closer to the core of the plant. If their purpose was to just protect the plant they would not be so likely stick to animals, potentially damaging the plant.
I've heard similar being said about brambles. "Way Out West Blow-in Blog" posted about their experiences with their sheep getting stuck in them back in 2015, Shows up with "Carnivorous Bramble" as the YT search term. It's somewhat surreal seeing a sheep be so chill with the pointy hug of doom from a blackberry bush.
Well, I'm from Chile and we call it "Chagual". It is edible and we eat it as a salad (a very fresh salad, kind of like a floral celery), but for a long time its cut has been forbidden because it's production is not sustainable. It is not really that rare, we have it here in the coast of Valparaíso and it is really easy to see pretty much along the whole country, coast to andes, where there are no sheeps to be seen. It is true that they are burned down south, and people say it is so it would not eat their sheep, but your theory makes a lot of sense and probably nobody knows why you are supposed to burn them, even though it is forbidden. In short, it is mostly an edible weed that grows pretty much everywhere here in Chile. It is home to the biggest butterfly in Chile, Mariposa del Chagual (Puya's butterfly), which is in itself an expectacle. Also, I don't think it eats that many birds, as it is the nest of a lot of litle birds and insects, which grants them the term "ecosystem isle", or something along those lines. It is not protected per-se, but cutting a wild one is forbidden and they are bought in the black market for around US$8 each, which is double what a kilo of avocado costs here. So, there. Great video! Edit: words...
Brambles (Blackberry plants) are said to do the same, there are some theories about them being "secondary predatory" plants due to the thorns seeming to be more evolved to hold/trap creatures rather than deter them and can snare fur and clothing as badly as razor wire can. Some botanists have suggested it could be one of the stages of evolution that could lead to fully predatory plants when my direct consumption evolves later, the fact that both Brambles and this Chilean plant grow in poor, thin soil might go towards the semi predatory nature as Carnivorous plants grow in poor soils. Other Botanists refute the idea completely, though they do admit the plants would benefit from the decomposing corpse over the root structure.
If it's true that predatory/carnivorous plants grow in poor soil, then it would make sense as to why they evolved to be that way. Plants that grow in rich soil would seemingly be the opposite
I remember the 1981 Day of the Triffids TV shorts as being quite good, I also don't remember the triffids posing more of a threat than the other (now blind) humans, though it has been some 10 years so I could be misrememebering. It'd be worth a watch, as I remember, in any case.
0:38 There’s a tree here in Florida called the manchineel that is also an exception. It doesn’t hunt, but standing too close to it for a prolonged period of time it will irritate the lining of your throat and lungs. I’d advise against touching any part of it, and God help you if you eat the apple-looking fruit. Also, if you stand under it during rain you’ll get blistering chemical burns.
There's been an argument about briars for the same thing... some folks claiming they are technically predatory because their fruit lures sheep to them and they frequently get caught due to their wool. It's like the world's most passive aggressive hunter if that's the case.
You know the saying that it's impossible to make something foolproof due to the ingenuity of fools? I think we've discovered that sheep are the ultimate fools...
I've heard people make the same argument about briars. Farmers often have to cut sheep free of briars on their properties since wool gets tangled in the thorns so easily.

Re: birds getting hit by cars -- I work at an animal sanctuary that includes a licensed wildlife rehabilitation facility. We have/had several birds (owls, other raptors, and crows/ravens, specifically) that have been hit by cars because they've gorged themselves on roadkill and then been unable to maneuver as quickly as normal because of the extra weight. So there's at least one explanation for it! Then there was the giant flock of tiny birds that were acting really weird and lethargic, hanging out in the road one weekend. Dozens of them got hit by cars because they just... weren't moving away with any urgency at all.
9:45 That reminds me of something about how a dragonfly fly's. Apparently dragonfly's can literally fly too fast to see obstacles in time to avoid them. They'd end up haven flown past the obstacle some time ago before they'd had the chance to see it.
HELLO!!! I want to spend time with celebrities. Just kidding. GAGAGAGAGA! I only want to spend time with my two girlfriends and record RUclips videos for with the 3 of us. OH YEAH. Don't hate me for living the best life, dear mal
Not all the birds have all the sky. Smaller ones stay low among obstacles to avoid birds of prey. The latter are fast and strong, dominate the higher altitudes. And the lower regions too, if there's not a lot of stuff.
If you watch birds when you drive, you'll see that they're playing a game of "chicken" with other birds, basically a game of.. who can get the closet to the front of the car
9:26 When I was about 16, I had a bird divebomb the front of my car. It was in a rural area, wide open space and this giant crow just zips down out of nowhere, directly aimed at the grill of my car like a goddamned missile! Mind you, this was an early 90s Buick I was driving so that bird stood zero chance. There was just a feathery explosion from the front of the car and a very freaked out teenage girl trying to pull over as quick as possible without plowing into the cornfield!
About the birds on the road. I've pointed this out before, Crows use traffic lights to go on the road when it's safe and drop nuts for cars to crush. They are intelligent enough to not be there when a car is. So if you see a dead bird on the road, in the case of crows, you know someone was speeding and skipped a light. Leading to that.
So the Day of the Triffids was originally a book, and the idea is a little more complex than barely ambulatory plants. They were deliberately cultivated as they produced oil (for use in fuel) and I believe they were pets as well. The actual threat was some meteor shower, or something, that blinded a significant portion of the global population, which rendered them defenceless against the Triffids as they regrew their stingers.
The Triffids are mentioned in The Rocky Horror Picture Show opening song - Science Fiction-Double Feature: "...And I really got hot, When I saw Janette Scott, Fight a TRIFFID that spits poison and kills..." Still love that musical movie.
The UK has a sheep killing plant. If left unchecked, it can grow over huge areas of land. It uses fruits to attract its prey. Once its prey gets in range, it uses its barbs to hook into the animal. The animal will find more and more barbs, as it starts to struggle. Eventually the animal will die, decompose and feed the soil. They grow everywhere and you probably have traces of them in your garden. They are the dreaded Bramble.
My dad has sheep and I can say that sheep will get stuck in fences a lot. So getting attracted to a plant and getting stuck in it is very in character.
Day of the Triffids is much creepier as a book and deals more with human behaviour after the fall of society than the monsters themselves, the closest movie to it that I can think of is 28 Days Later. The plots and allegories are so similar that I don't think you could make a better Triffid movie than that since actually including Triffids means you need to make a scary looking plant that everyone watching will think is scary, and that's pretty much impossible.
There was a ghost movie where the sequel has the answer of “we made it out. We are in the hotel hall way waiting for the elevator only for us to be back at the asylum.” Oh yeah and in the first movie “we have to get to the roof. Maybe we can use our jackets and everything to make like a rope because the front door just made the asylum double it’s self like it’s a tardis!” Only for them to get to almost the roof and brick wall! God I think it was paranormal investigation was the title but I love that movie for the ghosts being trolls
🤣 I just realised why the trope of the black character dies 1st makes sense. If they live long enough they will tell everyone to get the hell out of there, leave it alone. Go home. And No more horror movie 🤣
About the birds getting hit by cars, it was some bridge that had svallows (spelling?) nesting in the pillars and the first few years they had allt of Birds getting killed by traffic but then suddenly almost no bird was killed anymore with the nests getting larger and larger
We call those grates "cattle guards" in the US. They work a lot better for larger animals that don't really roll over, but for well-padded sheep I can definitely see it being ineffective.
I remember watching a video of a guy saying this a long while ago. You clicked on the video thinking it's the ramblings or a madman but really it makes sense that a plant would make animals get stuck and die around itself
I didn't even know there was a movie of it, but in the book, the main reasons triffids are dangerous are they're kind of sneaky, have realy long reach, tend gather in large numbers (atracted by sound) and most humans have gone blind at the beinning of the book. It's mentioned, that they existed for a while and there were ocasional accidents, but when the world was going as normal, triffids weren't a threat. It is alluded that they are somewhat inteligent, which is another reason. Also the book isn't a horror, but more of a post-apocalypse.
I heard that Blackberry Bushes end up doing the same thing only in a more probable way. The plant uses their berries to attract sheep to them and their wool gets stuck in the thorns. I don't remember where I heard this but this conversation reminded me of it
I once read that by the riverbanks were bears leave the carcasses of their salmons the trees grow much better. Seams there is some logic in this. Probably this "hunting plat" is just thriving where, let's say, physical entanglement with the wildlife is in higher probability...
Zombies always scared me. They aren't the ones they usually show in movies though. They are unstoppable. Relentless. Strong and fast as when they were alive. They can only be stopped by complete dismemberment. I tended to have nightmares about them more then anything else. Been awhile since they've been in my nightmares though.
I read this great sci-fi/horror novel about plants taking over everything and killing everyone. it was great and the only time plants have ever been scary lol. I wish I could remember the name of it.
Not even the only sheep eating plant as bushes with thorns do the exact same thing of grabbing onto them holding them in place till they die of starvation or exposure. The more they struggle the more entangled they get.
I haven't seen the Day of the Triffids movie... but I have read the book and the book also includes that almost everyone was blinded before the Triffids showed up.
I always thought plant 42 from resident evil was a cool scary concept. A plant that overtakes an entire house that traps you and then drains your blood.
I enjoyed the book Day of the dead us based on. Mass blindness and a deadly toxin on the plants made the plants WAY more threatening. John Wyndham wrote a few good books.
Our own Brambles could be considerd partly carniverous as they lay out tentacles of thorns which sheep get snared in. They then the sheep and rot, which feeds the plant.

Brambles have the same reputation for the exact same reason. Wool is an amazing defense mechanism as on one account a sheep escaped its shepherd and went on to grow a gigantically fluffy coat which then prevented any predation via predators as their teeth couldn’t penetrate the wool armor. However, it also leads to these types of thorny plants from earning carnivorous monikers as the wool can become very tangled by the bramble vines, and sheep mysteriously just wait to die after a very short struggle.
Note about birds and why they fly into your car. Yes, they could theoretically fly two feet higher, but they're actually using the natural air currents of the cars going by to minimize the effort it takes to maintain flight.

They are intelligent enough to not be there when a car is. So if you see a dead bird on the road, in the case of crows, you know someone was speeding and skipped a light. Leading to that.
So the Day of the Triffids was originally a book, and the idea is a little more complex than barely ambulatory plants. They were deliberately cultivated as they produced oil (for use in fuel) and I believe they were pets as well. The actual threat was some meteor shower, or something, that blinded a significant portion of the global population, which rendered them defenceless against the Triffids as they regrew their stingers.
The Triffids are mentioned in The Rocky Horror Picture Show opening song - Science Fiction-Double Feature: "...And I really got hot, When I saw Janette Scott, Fight a TRIFFID that spits poison and kills..." Still love that musical movie.
The UK has a sheep killing plant. If left unchecked, it can grow over huge areas of land. It uses fruits to attract its prey. Once its prey gets in range, it uses its barbs to hook into the animal. The animal will find more and more barbs, as it starts to struggle. Eventually the animal will die, decompose and feed the soil. They grow everywhere and you probably have traces of them in your garden. They are the dreaded Bramble.
My dad has sheep and I can say that sheep will get stuck in fences a lot. So getting attracted to a plant and getting stuck in it is very in character.
Oooh, there is a little movie "black sheep" - kinda a horror movie mostly just halarious if you like kiwi humor
Beat me to it
You mentioned the Isle of Scilly. This make me exceedingly happy for some reason :D
When i see birds or animals that got hit by cars, i always think that they lost the bet with their friends.
The worst nightmare of every Welsh, they will lose their fleshlight/friends with benefits with this plant
The cool thing about goats is the info behind the old saying "to get your goat" or "got your goat"
Day of the Triffids is much creepier as a book and deals more with human behaviour after the fall of society than the monsters themselves, the closest movie to it that I can think of is 28 Days Later. The plots and allegories are so similar that I don't think you could make a better Triffid movie than that since actually including Triffids means you need to make a scary looking plant that everyone watching will think is scary, and that's pretty much impossible.
Me at 2:30 : “Get on with it!”
I find great pleasure in the image of sheep rolling to find food
In from chile, and the ring is, this planta is not so famous for catching sheep, but yes for being so flamable
i think they did mention in paranormal activity that moving wont help, since the thing is bound to the people rather than the place.
Has anyone seen that video were a Farmer says Bramble trap and eat sheep, because this video kept reminding me of that video.
I never knew sheep were so smart
Goats are just Skyrim horses in disguise
There was a ghost movie where the sequel has the answer of “we made it out. We are in the hotel hall way waiting for the elevator only for us to be back at the asylum.” Oh yeah and in the first movie “we have to get to the roof. Maybe we can use our jackets and everything to make like a rope because the front door just made the asylum double it’s self like it’s a tardis!” Only for them to get to almost the roof and brick wall! God I think it was paranormal investigation was the title but I love that movie for the ghosts being trolls
🤣 I just realised why the trope of the black character dies 1st makes sense. If they live long enough they will tell everyone to get the hell out of there, leave it alone. Go home. And No more horror movie 🤣
12:17 That goosebumps episode were their dad was half plant was odd too
About the birds getting hit by cars, it was some bridge that had svallows (spelling?) nesting in the pillars and the first few years they had allt of Birds getting killed by traffic but then suddenly almost no bird was killed anymore with the nests getting larger and larger
We call those grates "cattle guards" in the US. They work a lot better for larger animals that don't really roll over, but for well-padded sheep I can definitely see it being ineffective.
Tons of them round westcliff in bournemouth, pop up in a different place each year
viva chile wn 🇨🇱 dhdjdh

Wena wn aguante chilito jsjsjs
Somos el mejor país de Chile
VIVA CHILE MIERDA
I remember watching a video of a guy saying this a long while ago. You clicked on the video thinking it's the ramblings or a madman but really it makes sense that a plant would make animals get stuck and die around itself
I didn't even know there was a movie of it, but in the book, the main reasons triffids are dangerous are they're kind of sneaky, have realy long reach, tend gather in large numbers (atracted by sound) and most humans have gone blind at the beinning of the book. It's mentioned, that they existed for a while and there were ocasional accidents, but when the world was going as normal, triffids weren't a threat. It is alluded that they are somewhat inteligent, which is another reason. Also the book isn't a horror, but more of a post-apocalypse.
In day of the triffids the book, a massive number of the population got blinded due to some radioactive comet shower or something
I heard that Blackberry Bushes end up doing the same thing only in a more probable way. The plant uses their berries to attract sheep to them and their wool gets stuck in the thorns.
I don't remember where I heard this but this conversation reminded me of it
I once read that by the riverbanks were bears leave the carcasses of their salmons the trees grow much better. Seams there is some logic in this. Probably this "hunting plat" is just thriving where, let's say, physical entanglement with the wildlife is in higher probability...
Zombies always scared me. They aren't the ones they usually show in movies though. They are unstoppable. Relentless. Strong and fast as when they were alive. They can only be stopped by complete dismemberment. I tended to have nightmares about them more then anything else. Been awhile since they've been in my nightmares though.
Baah Ram Ewe. Baah ram ewe.
By your bleat, your fleece, your clan be true.
Sheep be true, Baah ram ewe.
I read this great sci-fi/horror novel about plants taking over everything and killing everyone. it was great and the only time plants have ever been scary lol. I wish I could remember the name of it.
Zombies in walking dead shouldn't be as big a threat as they are since they can only shamble and are very audible
Blackberry plants are also carnivorous, and those bent thorns are perfect for getting sheep trapped
Not even the only sheep eating plant as bushes with thorns do the exact same thing of grabbing onto them holding them in place till they die of starvation or exposure. The more they struggle the more entangled they get.
I dunno, I think the Ruins(2008) made a good effort at creating an intimidating plant.
Paranormal Activity is the worst example for "walking away".
In pretty much every film, it's a PERSON that's haunted, not a place.
I haven't seen the Day of the Triffids movie... but I have read the book and the book also includes that almost everyone was blinded before the Triffids showed up.
I always thought plant 42 from resident evil was a cool scary concept. A plant that overtakes an entire house that traps you and then drains your blood.
I so rarely see chilean representation and it feels so good, you could do El Trauco, it's a pretty interesting leyend from Chile
To answer the question: cows and chickens tie for the spot of dumbest farm animals
I enjoyed the book Day of the dead us based on. Mass blindness and a deadly toxin on the plants made the plants WAY more threatening. John Wyndham wrote a few good books.
Our own Brambles could be considerd partly carniverous as they lay out tentacles of thorns which sheep get snared in. They then the sheep and rot, which feeds the plant.
