14. What´s the biggest thing carnivorous plant will eat ?

Carnivorous plants generally stick to a diet of bugs that they ensnare. On rare occasions, though, tropical pitcher plants which drown and break down prey in vase-shaped traps that can be smaller than a little finger or larger than a football—have been found holding the skeletal remains of frogs, geckos and even small rodents.

In the following video, it is explained how pitcher plants can eat a mouse, so its one of the biggest things they can eat.

Now, we can appreciate in these two pictures, two carnivorous plants (venus flytrap) eating animals. The first picture on the left, is eating a lizard and the one on the right is already digesting a fly.
