@machdude3366

Considering its nature, it's pretty reasonable as to how it was able to create such a niche for itself. The development of the scent specifically attracted the one animal that could work with it while warning other animals that might have eaten it away. The entire system to pollenate is kind of amazing because it's not hard to do. The real issue is how LONG it takes to reach the blooming stage because most plants don't really wait that long. The Corpse Flower has a long lifespan for a flower and can bloom multiple times, but the timing means it really isn't going to be reproducing at a good rate.

It doesn't just sounds or smells toxic, it truly looks trypophobia triggering kind of toxic.

Anything small, like insects or small mammals like mice is staged. What do I mean by staged?;- For example David Attenborough did a documentary on insects & arthropods a couple years ago. The scorpions fighting each other were filmed on an artificial stage created purely for the shot. They threw male preying mantids at female ones until they finally got the shot of her eating her mate. This is not a secret, the behind the scenes video at the end of the documentary showed the process.

Maybe we should build a giant space ring. Just in case.

This Corpse Flower kind of looks like Anakin after we finished our duel.

The filming quality, the explanation, staging, it's all amazing.

Now I know why my Animal Crossing town keeps getting a terrible rating… at first I thought “oh the weeds and this flower don’t look too bad”. After watching this video… my perception of this flower is forever changed.

Yeah, in most Animal Crossing games Rafflesia only appears if your village is the absolute worst/dirtiest it can be. (Kind of the opposite of the Jacob's Ladder.) Because of that, it's actually one of the most rare items in the game.

This is what inspired the pokemon Vileplume. As a kid I was so fascinated with these flowers, but I thought it was pronounced raw-fleshia.

By far one of the most fascinating plants in the world. I really hop to witness one in bloom some day. Also I have to point out how funny it is to see a male flower depositing a sticky white reproductive fluid on the back of an animal....

I'm more interested in how they managed to get such an outstanding footage of the flower than the flower itself

One of the things i like in this video aside from the satisfying narration is this "from its center come the pungent odour of death"

Tbh I wasnt too disturbed until he mentioned that ITS A GODDAMN METER WIDE

had the chance to see this magnificent flower before my eyes in my own country, Malaysia. It was not just the flower that captured my eyes, the surrounding where the flower bloomed at somehow brought more meaning to the experience.

“Corpse Flower” is gonna be the name of my new band and “Stinks of Death” is gonna be our first album.

Aww 🥰. A real life Vileplume!

The flower itself is incredible how it evolved into this form. However, the filming is beyond amazing!

The balance between everything is so crazy to me. How this flower is a result of successful reproduction through tricking insects into thinking it's a dead animal corpse by producing a chemical that smells like one. That's so insane how many different types of strategies for success there are with living beings.

Kudos to the cameraman who put his head in that flower just to get those shots.

Cameraman actually tracked a fly when it goes from male to female. That's more intriguing.

hands down to the male rafflesia for his sheer commitment of getting offspring even when sex is not included in his mission.

I must say, GameFreak really upped themselves with these graphics. This forest and Vileplume look incredible and they got David Attenborough to narrate, this really is the best Pokémon game

I remember the first time I saw and smelled one two years ago on a mountain here in the Philippines. If you know the vile odor of a putrefying rat, that's exactly how it smells!

@@Icetea-2000 The flowers smell the way that they do to attract carrion flys and other insects that usually are only attracted to rotting meat. The same flies and insects then crawl around in it and fly away to hopefully pollinate the female flower. I’m guessing this flower has continued to survive because it doesn’t have to compete with the abundance of sweet smelling flowers that are usually pollinated by bees and butterflies etc.

@Icetea-2000

@@numerum_bestia I wonder how it makes that smell though. Because if it’s only slightly different and exists for millions of years, eventually the flies would notice the difference genetically right? Although no, why would they, there is no natural selection here, it’s not carnivorous, it’s just pollination like any other flower.
