Toilet Hire: Jungle Style

Toilet hire has gone native. This is a plant that grows in the jungles of Borneo and is used as a toilet by the native Tree Shrew. The flower collects the dropping and uses them to produce a sugary substance. This is substance is then eaten by the shrew.

Meet Nepenthes Lowii, nature’s own lavatory.

It is definitely a win-win situation for all parties involved.

The sap from the plant has a ‘slightly disagreeable odour’ but it is the sweet taste that attracts the shrew. While it’s a great example of recycling, it’s unlikely to go down well with humans.

The position of the substance on the permanently-opened lid of the plant makes it the perfect position for the shrew to perch.

The plant starts its life as a meat-eating vine but leaves this carnivorous existence behind as it matures and develops a penchant for animal droppings.

Its self-sufficiency means it thrives in a habitat known to be poor in nutrients, making it one of nature’s best recycling machines while providing everything the mountain shrew needs.
