David Attenborough's Plant Will Eat You

[gerdbonk]

Not a plant he owns, but one named after him. And it'll only eat you if you are a small mammal or insect unlucky enough to fall into its trap.

If you went for a swim back in the early Jurassic period, you might have been eaten by Attenborosaurus (and his brother would have made a film about it).

Fortuately for Materpiscis attenborughi, they probably went extinct before their plesiosaurian namesakes would be able to chase them.

I wonder if his echidna has a long enough beak to steal insects out of his pitcher plant?

ETA: Thanks for making me look for these

Who holds the record for most species named after them?
