Pack your bags and lace up your hiking boots extra carefully, because this week, Earth Ranger Emma is venturing into the wild, squelchy beauty of Green Swamp, North Carolina! Join her on a mission to uncover the truth behind Ryan’s very dramatic tale of a man-eating Venus flytrap. Is it fact or just another one of Ryan’s tall tales?
With the help of her botanist buddy Wesley, Emma explores the fascinating world of carnivorous plants, from tiny flytraps and sticky sundews to pitcher plants that double as bat hotels. Along the way, she discovers the vital role fire plays in preserving these plants' habitats and how we can help protect them.
Will Emma prove that Venus flytraps are harmless to humans? Will Ryan ever apologize properly? And what exactly does a tree shrew contribute to conservation? Tune in to find out!
