Pitcher Plant

Explanation:

Pitcher Plants have adapted to be carnivorous due to the lack of nutrients inside the soil of the Amazon Rainforest. This is due to the large overhanging  canopies blocking out sunlight to the surface causing the soil to be clay-like and acidic. Pitcher plants have adapted to catching insects and smaller animals in exchange for nutrients instead of relying on the soil.
