Bladderworts

Bladderworts are carnivorous plants that feeds on small water fleas. It is the fastest bug eating plant in the world. Scientist recently have recorded the plants in action using high-speed cameras. Showing us how bladderworts really trap their pray.

Normally, people will think that plants are non-mobile living things that just photosynthesize every day. Wrong. The plants are far from that and the bladderwort is an living example. While animals have to hunt down their pray and trap them, it will take them at least a few minutes and sometimes it is unsuccessful. However, the bladderwort is different. It can trap a victim in less than one millisecond which is one thousandth of a second. That is faster than any animals on the planet. Even the cheetah, running at 112 km per hour has to chase 500m before it has to stop. The plants have certainly beat the animals in speed. If you think plants are boring, think again.

From this, we can see that Mother Nature have balanced the plants and animals equally. If the plants lack mobility, they are given better reflex and speed. The plants are not as boring as them see and they can be more amazing than animals sometimes.
