Plants which are not dependent 305 00:34:19,876 --> 00:34:22,667 entirely on soil and sunlight for their food, 306 00:34:22,751 --> 00:34:25,001 but which sometimes eat live insects. 307 00:34:34,167 --> 00:34:35,209 Well 308 00:34:35,334 --> 00:34:41,459 Each stage, each adaption, each mutation is one step higher 309 00:34:41,542 --> 00:34:43,792 in the battle of the plant kingdom for survival. 310 00:34:44,542 --> 00:34:46,167 Now what if 311 00:34:46,251 --> 00:34:48,876 What if a plant were to take the next step? 312 00:34:49,042 --> 00:34:52,167 What if there were a mutation that could developed intelligence? 313 00:34:52,292 --> 00:34:55,084 The ability to protect itself? 314 00:34:56,417 --> 00:35:00,917 Perhaps even to know who its enemies were and destroy them? 315 00:35:01,709 --> 00:35:04,792 A plant like that could take over the world. 316 00:35:06,459 --> 00:35:08,876 But it's not possible, it's fantastic! 317 00:35:10,334 --> 00:35:11,626 I wonder 318 00:35:17,751 --> 00:35:19,792 Lunch will be ready in a few moments. 319 00:35:19,876 --> 00:35:22,751 Oh yes.
