What plant is a carnivore?
A carnivorous (meat eating) plant is a plant that eats small animals such as flies and insects. Venus fly traps and Pitcher plants are such plants. Scientists in the UK have also recently discovered a mammal-eating plant. This plant, apparently a very rare giant pitcher plant, is believed to be the largest meat-eating flora in the world. It is green and red and has a stem that can grow up to 4ft long, and it can only be found high on the slopes of Mount Victoria in the Phillipines. It eats whole rats. A common mistake is to call the plants insectivorous, however, as the plants are capable of digesting many more things other than insects (eg: mollusks such as slugs, avians such as humming birds, arachnids such as spiders, and mammals such as small mice) their proper title is "carnivorous plant".

What influenced the roman gods and goddesses?
Greek religion encompasses the collection of beliefs and rituals practiced in ancient Greece in the form of both popular public religion and cult practices. These different groups varied enough for it to be possible to speak of Greek religions or "cults" in the plural, though most of them shared similarities. Also, the Greek religion extended out of Greece and out to other islands.Many Greek people recognized the major gods and goddesses: Zeus, Poseidon, Hades, Apollo, Artemis, Aphrodite, Ares, Dionysus, Hephaestus, Athena, Hermes, Demeter, Hestia and Hera though philosophies such as Stoicism and some forms of Platonism used language that seems to posit a transcendent single deity. Different cities often worshipped the same deities, sometimes with epithets that distinguished them and specified their local nature.The religious practices of the Greeks extended beyond mainland Greece, to the islands and coasts of Ionia in Asia Minor, to Magna Graecia (Sicily and southern Italy), and to scattered Greek colonies in the Western Mediterranean, such as Massalia (Marseille). Greek religion was tempered by Etruscan cult and belief to form much of the later Ancient Roman religion.
