pffffffffffft, PNG can have their rat... here in Australia, we've got a flesh eating plant

Discovered in 2006 in Queensland's northern Cape York, the Nepenthes tenax, more commonly know as the "flesh-eating" pitcher plant, leads the new discoveries in terms of its obscurity. The plant can grow a maximum height of 100cm - exceptional since others can only grow to a maximum height of 15cm - and is believed to consume small rats, mice, lizards and even birds.
