Information

Prey	Snowballs, possibly photosynthesis (sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.)

The Snowball Eating Plant was a Venus fly trap parody in Club Penguin, found at the Tree House during the Adventure Party 2009, Island Adventure Party 2010 and Island Adventure Party 2011. Throwing snowballs into its mouth causes it to consume them and eventually grow. The more snowballs granted, the more growth from the plant. It is one of the fastest growing plants on the island.

As the plant grows in size, the chomping sound it makes also becomes louder. The plant can grow large enough to fill the southeastern sector if fed properly. At its maximum limit, however, the plant will burp and deflate itself to original size, ready for a second course of frozen precipitation. There is a rumor that this plant lives far in the wilderness where no penguin has been. also this is thought to return every year from now on

Botany DetailsEdit

The plant is Maroon in color, with flattened teeth. In the real world, that would mean the plant is a herbivore, but in this plant's case, it is for capturing and retaining snowballs inside itself. The plant seems to have warm insides because it melts snowballs upon contact. It is an audible creature, making notable chomping sounds and its loud burp after reaching maximum growth.

Water is essential to its survival, and the plant depends on penguins for its existence. Its only source of liquid is via snowballs, considering it hangs in trees and lacks a root system. This key trait of the Snowball Eating Plant indicates a symbiotic relationship. The plant depends on penguins for its food (snowballs) and the penguins benefit from feeding the plant by having fun feeding it. The plant would probably not survive in the usual frigid climate of Club Penguin Island, though due to the tropical heatwave it flourished along with the other plants Rockhopper brought during the Adventure Party 2009.It is probably either a young plant that sprouted late on the tree, or has roots on the ground but hasn't evolved to melt snow with its roots yet, which is unusual because it can melt snow in its mouth pretty fast.

In Layman's terms, it melts snow for food and relies upon penguins to provide the source.

TriviaEdit

• It is unknown how the water plant manages to stay aloft in the trees when at maximum size, and why it doesn't propel itself downward, because of weight when letting out such loud and forceful belching.
• It may be a parody of the kite eating tree that was on Peanuts comics created by Charles M. Schulz.
• It's characteristic of eating snowballs might have something to do with photosynthesis, the process in which a plant uses water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide to make nutrients, because melted snowballs would be water.
