Snack

A snack? Do not do it as fast as the plants of the genus Utricularia! Researchers from Joseph Fourier University and the CNRS of Grenoble have explained the hunting mechanism of these carnivorous plants. They discover that the dam is swallowed in less than a millisecond.
As can be seen in the video, these aquatic plants activate a hunting mechanism just to detect the dam. That is, its walls expand forming a kind of small trap that absorbs the prey and, once detected, the plant closes again the entrance of the trap.
