What does the strangler fig eat?
One type of Strangler Fig is From Brazil but there are Several types. The One in Brazil is officialy known as the Strangler Fig. To survive in the rainforest it will grow fruits and once a bird has eat the fruit it will spit the seed into a tree.Soon the seed will begin to grow and wrap itself over it's host (The Tree the seed was put on) it will send it's roots down to the forest floor and once they are in the ground it will begin to leech the nutrients and water the tree has. Once it is all sucked up the host tree will die but the Strangler fig won't as it is strong enough to live on it's own and will now take the place of the host tree. :) hope it answered your guestion!!
