Look what the Roridula's of the Leiden Botanical gardens caught!
hortus.leidenuniv.nl/index.php?/h...._vlaamse_gaai1/
The text is not in English available so roughly:
Carnivorous plant catches Eurasian Jay.
An Eurasian Jay escaped from death last Tuesday in the winter garden.
A sticky carnivorous plant had caught the large bird.
A visitor prevented the plant from eating it's prey.
Chief of Greenhouses Rogier van Vught managed to free the animal and called the animal rescue service.
The bird had easy access to the greenhouse because the doors where open for the yearly movement of large non hardy potted plants into the greenhouse.
When the bird has recovered it will be released again in the gardens.
Burp! Verskoning (as they say in Afrikaans). ;D
