Is there an advantage for the Shrew to do this? Does the plant grow on the side of the Shrew interstate?

The shrew gets to lap up some sweet nectar, which is also a laxative.

Seems unhygienic to be lapping up toilet nectar

Many pitcher plants produce nectar as a lure.

Not sure about shrews, but some animals hide their feces because the scent can let predators know where they are.

Where do these grow? Why are insects scarce? Is it cold?

Scat plants. Thank god we can't hear them speak. Who knows what they have to say.

ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 49 pts · 218d (1 reply)

Probably something like

"Ski-bi-dibby-dib yo-da-dub-dub, yo-da-dub-dub Ski-bi-dibby-dib yo-da-dub-dub, yo-da-dub-dub"

Or maybe

"Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-bop-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope, bop-ba-bodda Ba-da-ba-da-ba-be bop-ba-bodda-bope Bop-ba-bodda-bope Be-bop-ba-bodda-bope, bop-ba-bodda-bope"

"Everybody's saying that the Scatplant stutters

But doesn't ever stutter when he sings

But what you don't know, I'm gonna tell you right now

That the stutter and the scat is the same thing, yo

I'm the Scatplant"

Is this a skibidi toilet?

Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 218d

Not a plant, but close

I am a shrew
I see a leaf
With yummy nectar for a feast
I lick the glue
But I feel funny
I've got a rumbly in my tummy
Good, it's true
It has a hole
Wide like shrew-shaped toilet bowl
And so I poo
I feel no sorrow
I'll come and lick this plant tomorrow
