This plant is a parasite that smells like a rotting corpse: Meet jackal food (Hydnora africana)! Unlike many plants, which use chlorophyll and photosynthesis to derive nutrients from the Sun, this species attaches itself to host plants instead, siphoning off their nutrients.

Found in arid parts of southern Africa, including South Africa 🇿🇦 and Namibia 🇳🇦, the stench of the jackal food’s fruit attracts a variety of animals including jackals, porcupines, and moles.

What does it taste like? Its flavor and texture have been compared to that of a potato...
