Is there an advantage for the Shrew to do this? Does the plant grow on the side of the Shrew interstate?
Not sure about shrews, but some animals hide their feces because the scent can let predators know where they are.
The shrew gets to lap up some sweet nectar, which is also a laxative.
Seems unhygienic to be lapping up toilet nectar
You've never seen those urinals that have complementary delicious cake?
That's not a cake, that's a breath mint
if you crush it up and breath it in youll also get high... and dissolve your brain
The cake is a lie!
Wait until you find out where vegetables get their nutrients from.
yeah but I aint munching on a raw head of cabbage while sitting on top of its fertilizer.
Speak for yourself, bub.
It grows next to shrew bars and microbreweries
microshreweries
Ni! Ni! Ni!
Ecky, Ecky, Ecky, Pakang, Zoom-ping.
Those who hear them seldom live to tell the tale!
Imagine if toilets had candy dispensers
Many pitcher plants produce nectar as a lure.
