Carnivorous
Plants
The Carnivorous plants are the oddest
and one of the most specalized organisms on planet Altoid. They are very
sweet tasting which is appealing to all of its consumers except bears who
have evolved to know not to eat them. The Carnivorous plants are ingested
by the animals that ate them. The bile and acids in the animal stomach
cause the plants to release spores which inject the cells in the stomach
with a small strand of RNA. The strand attaches itself to the genetic material
and goes through a few months of the Lysogenic cycle before it is ready
to bust the infected cells, kill the host animal, and seed a plant in the
animals body. The Rodents eat the Carnivorous plants in large amounts,
unknowing of the consequences. The rodents then mate and pass the cells
infected with the plant's RNA to its sexual partner. The partner and the
offspring are then infected. The offspring are infected but mate soon after
birth and passt the cells on. Like any STD the plants can be spread to
thousands rapidly. The plant's root themselfes in the dead rodents and
use the body's nutrients to grow into another palnt which will soon be
eaten and start the process over again.
If the Carnivourous plants were to
die off, the rodent populartion would increase so rapidly they would run
out of palces to live and food quickly. The plants are responsible for
killig at least 50 of the rodent's litter. Much of the earth would erode
if the Carnivorous plants did not hold the earth in place.
