Venus Flytrap Dresses Up As Santa To Wish You A Merry Christmas

ADVERTISEMENT

Who knew that growing a Venus flytrap at home can be so much fun?

Youtuber Kluna Tik creates amusing mini-clips featuring her unusual plant Charlie The Carnivore. In each clip, Charlie does something surprising: smokes a cigarette, blows bubblegum, or eats a pickle. In the most recent one, this weird plant puts on a Santa’s costume, wishing everyone Merry Christmas.

In case you didn’t know, Venus flytrap is a carnivorous plant that catches its prey when the tiny hairs on their surface are triggered. It seems a bit frightening? Not when you look at Charlie in his funny Santa costume!

I joined Bored Panda as an image editor back in 2014, during its early stages. It's been quite a journey since then! Over time, I transitioned through different roles until I eventually became the Content Lead. In this position, I now oversee the creation of the viral content published here on Bored Panda. While my primary focus lies in raising awareness about important social issues like gender and race equality, as well as mental health topics, I also enjoy sharing lighter content, such as memes, cat images and intriguing world curiosities. Outside of work, you'll likely find me engaged in one of five activities: planning a vacation, browsing thrift stores, experimenting in the kitchen, watching movies, or spending quality time with my two cats.

This is one of the very strong reasons why Facebook should introduce a dislike button.

Leave the plant alone. This is cruel and selfish- and not funny.

Thats not the right way to treat it. I suppose (and hope) you know how much sensible carnivorous plants are... This is just stupid =_=

It's not "cruel" because the plant isn't sentient, BUT by activating the closing mechanism 5 or 6 times without food she will kill it.
