In the forests of Sabah, you can find a very special plant called the pitcher plant. It is one of the most interesting plants in the world. The pitcher plant looks like a cup or bottle and comes in many bright colors. But this plant is not just beautiful—it is also a carnivore!

The pitcher plant in Sabah gets its food from insects. It has a sweet smell that brings insects close. When an insect goes inside the pitcher, it slips and falls into the liquid. The plant then slowly takes the food from the insect. This helps the plant grow in places where the soil is poor.

One famous pitcher plant in Sabah is the Nepenthes rajah. It is one of the biggest pitcher rajahs in the world. It can even catch small frogs or lizards! You can find it in the high mountains, like Mount Kinabalu.

If you love nature and adventure, looking for pitcher plants in Sabah is a great idea. They are part of what makes the rainforest so special. Be careful not to touch or damage them—these amazing plants are rare and need to be protected. Seeing one in the wild is something you will never forget.
