Rat-eating plant discovered in Philippines
A carnivorous pitcher plant that eats rats and insects has been discovered in the Philippines and named after Sir David Attenborough.

The plant is among the largest of all pitchers and is believed to be the largest meat-eating shrub, dissolving rats with acid-like enzymes.

The team of botanists, led by British experts Stewart McPherson and Alastair Robinson, found the plant on Mount Victoria in the Philippines.

They were inspired to search for the plant after word that it is existed came from two Christian missionaries who described seeing a large carnivorous pitcher in 2000 after they climbed the mountain.

Mr McPherson, of Poole Dorset, said: "The plant produces spectacular traps which catch not only insects, but also rodents. It is remarkable that it remained undiscovered until the 21st century."

The team, which found the plant in 2007 following a two-month expedition, published details of their discovery in the Botanical Journal of Linnean Society earlier this year following a three-year study of all 120 species of pitcher plant.

They decided to name the plant Nepenthes attenboroughii, after the wildlife broadcaster Sir David.

"My team and I named it in honour of Sir David whose work has inspired generations toward a better understanding of the beauty and diversity of the natural world," added Mr McPherson.

Sir David, 83, said: "I was contacted by the team shortly after the discovery and they asked if they could name it after me. I was delighted and told them, 'Thank you very much'.

"I'm absolutely flattered. This is a remarkable species the largest of its kind. I'm told it can catch rats then eat them with its digestive enzymes. It's certainly capable of that."

Yes. I'm clinically underweight. My stats in new money:

58.20Kg - 9.1 stone, more than I thought
1.73m - 5.7 feet

I've been between 8.5-9.0 stone for over a decade. I don't put on at all or really lose weight period. I eat fine, it just doesn't go on.

No, I've suffered from chronic fatigue for years and the doctors don't know why because they're useless. I'm about 6ft but not sure how much I weigh because we don't own any scales, last time I checked I was 9.5 stone but that was quite some time ago.

Holy shit, the internet broke and the BNB forum is now being re-directed to Teenz-forum!!!
What's with all the weight-drama, girls!? ;) :P

Nah, I'm now also at my fattest I've ever been, and I have absolutely no clue how that is, as I really don't eat that much.
Ah well. I am 1,81m tall, and I weigh 78 kilo, which is about 5 kilo overweight.

The problem right now is just the common tub-tummy, as in I'm getting some love-handles.

I wanna go back to my 6-pack :? (not the beer 6-pack) , so I will.

A new man puts it mildly, I can hardly recognise you before and after :) a quater of your body weight gone is still a massive thing I say.
