Carnivorous Penis Plant is Real; Draws Female Tourism

Something has been drawing the ladies to a remote location in Cambodia’s Cardamom Mountains,

and that something is Pong Kdor Moha Tep, a new species of pitcher plant (the Nepenthes genus), that looks uncannily like a circumcised penis. (Incidentally “Circumcised Penis plant” is what Pong Kdor Moha Tep translates to).

Not only is this plant undeniably penis-like, it is also carnivorous, which means it derives its nutrients mostly from consuming insects and protozoa (single-cell organisms). It does so by opening up the head-like lid at the top of its body to attract and trap prey inside, where it digests it with enzymes just like the ones in our stomachs.You’ve heard of the Venus fly trap… wait for it… now you have: the Penis fly trap.
