Pitcher plants are carnivorous plants whose prey-trapping mechanism features a deep cavity filled with liquid known as a pitfall trap. A plant is carnivorous if it attracts, captures, and kills animal life forms. It must also digest and absorb the nutrients from the prey.

Plants cannot follow a plan, they simply grow. All carnivorous plants demonstrate evidence of “clever design”, the plants which seem so demure are actually the most cunning predators of all.

Nepenthes rajah is presently considered as the largest carnivorous plant with the largest known traps. It produces pitchers up to 35 cm (14 inches) in height and will sometimes consume small mammals like rats and other animals like frogs, lizards, even birds.
