The Mexican Snake-Tree is a cryptid carnivorous plant reported from Mexico. Reported by French explorer Byron de Prorok, who saw it first-hand, it was described as an "enormous plant" which killed a small bird which landed on its thorny leaves by curling its leaves up and spearing it to death with the thorns. Famous Cryptozoologist Karl Shuker finds the existence of this plant plausible, and suggests that it may be synonymous with the Nicaraguan dog-devouring tree, and the Brazilian bird-eating tree. The carnivorous plant with the largest known traps is probably the Nepenthes raja, which produces pitchers up to 38 cm (15 in) tall with a volume of up to 3.5 liters (0.77 imp gal; 0.92 US gal). This species traps small mammals.
