The carnivorous plant was a gigantic flower-like plant with vines that it used as appendages.

Biology

What looks like a mossy patch of ground with tasty looking fruit, is a deadly prehistoric carnivorous plant. It lifts it's prey into into the air with long vines, then drops them into the space between it's huge red petals and engulfs its prey. It will begin to secrete digestive juices that will start filling up the plant and shall result in symptoms such as tingling, itching and others before being disolved by the digestive juices after a few minutes. The only way to survive is to swim to the bottom, and cut open the round lump that you find there. Inside, there are two capillary stems. Cutting the red one will result in the plant constricting it's victims tightly as it clamps shut on it's prey in an airtight seal as it sinks into the ground while digesting much more rapidly, but the blue one, when cut, causes the plant to open explosively, thus freeing it's victims. This also appears to kill the plant.

The plant digests its victims quickly, in about 3-5 minutes, unless its blue capillary is cut, causing it to explode and free its victims and throw up a lot of juices from its body.

Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs

Manny and Diego were nearly eaten by one such giant plant, and are warned that they will by nothing but bones in 3 minutes, before Buck squeezes in, and cuts the red stem. The plant began sinking into the ground squeezing the trapped trio tightly and very nearly digesting them before Buck is just able to cut the blue one and the plant regurgitates them out. A few other types of carnivorous plants, which look like pitcher plants with retractable eye stalks, make brief appearances.

Video Game

The plant appears in the video game based on the movie where it is the first true boss.It has several battle stages.Once Buck manages to destroy its petals he must reach the core and save Manny and Diego.The plant also makes several hich-pitched screeches during the battle.

Another type of carnivorous plant appears in Ice Age Village, presented as a large red flower with a vine in the center that ends in an acorn-shaped lure. It is specialized to hunt saber-toothed squirrels, and can be seen repeatedly capturing and eating them in the game.
