Simon like exciting films,but Debbie prefers nature films.
One day, she said,'Do you want to watch this video,Simon?
It's about strange living things.
They can be very tinny or huge!
Some have lots of bodyguards to protect them.
Some live for thousands of years.And some are killers and kidnappers!
Simon said,'It sounds really exciting!'
But he had a surprise when he watched it.
Here are some excerpts from it.Tgw Weird World of Plants
This is the Venus Fly Trap.
It has two special leaves,and each leaf has several hairs in the middle.
If an insect touches one of these, the leaves start to shut together.
The insect often tries to run away.
But the plant moves more quickly than the insect.
The victim is trapped in a little prison.
Soon it dies, and the plant gradually absorbs it.
Plants live the longest of all things on Earth.
A Bristlecone Pine in California is 4,700 years old
and is still alive older than any written history.
Plants can be as small as one cell,like the millions of tiny plants in the seas.
One of the smallest is the Lichen plant which grows on stones.
