Deathbottle

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The deathbottle is a fictional plant created for the film The Future is Wild. It grows natural pitfall traps lined with poisonous spikes. Desert hoppers sometimes land on these traps and fall into them, where they are impaled and consumed. Since its main diet consists of animals, it is a carnivorous plant.

Deathbottles reproduce with seeds. Since they are incapable of spreading them on their own, they rely on bumblebeetles to spread them. Bumblebeetles are drawn into a seed chamber that imitates the appearance and odor of a dead flish on the outside. After many adhesive seeds attach to the bumblebeetle, it is catapulted out of the seed chamber and continues on its way.
