Carnivorous tree

Noddies nesting at Lady Elliott Island

I don't have a photograph of the tree, but there was a carnivorous tree on Lady Elliott. Its seeds burst into a mass of sticky things. When small birds and big birds get covered in them, their wings are unable to be freed and the bird dies, typically within the root zone of the tree, thereby enriching the sand of this coral island and the soil about the tree.

Nice to think that plants are so brilliantly evolved to use animals. It seems a nice turnabout.
