I remember a story about this (a hoax) but it still raises questions.In the (fictional) story, the tree was called the '' Tepe '', and in the story the tree would feed on lemurs by strangulating them with its branches alike to tentacles. Is it possible for such a tree to exist/evolve which uses capilary/water/elastic action in its branches/leaves (branches that aren't hard and stiff) to constrict around prey? There's a plant species named Drosera which does this, but can this effect be scaled up?
