Some of the biggest predators to walk the earth face a constant battle – their prey is heavily armoured, often indigestible, sometimes even poisonous, and what makes this struggle between predator and prey the more remarkable is that these predators do not prey on animals, but on plants…. The next great battle that plant predators face takes place on the open plains – behind every plant-eater lurks a meat-eater. Plant predators are equipped with dangerous weapons used in the greatest battle of all – with each other.
