Triffids Research Paper
Their Appearance: Triffids have a straight stem. The sting is a whorl that is sticky and can lash out at passing animals. It carries a sting which can kill a full-grown man. The poison is carried in sacks at the base of the sting.
Their Food:
Triffids are primarily carnivorous, digesting any insects that are caught in their area. They are also capable of killing larger animals by killing them with their stings and absorbing them as they decompose with the sting, tearing off pieces of flesh and dropping them into the cup.
Communication:
Triffids communicate by a drumming of the three clatter sticks. A triffid which is attacked will often drum these sticks, drawing others to its side.There has been no brain that has ever been found within …show more content…
These float for many kilometers in the air. The usual season for this in Europe is late August. Ninety-five per cent of these seeds are fortunately infertile.
Protection against the triffids:
Common methods of self-defence against a triffid are fleeing (they can only move at walking pace), blasting with a shotgun. Bullets are less effective since a triffid can absorb much damage before dying.
Triffids kept in gardens and nurseries can be kept safe by cutting off their stings. They take about two years to regrow. Nurseries leave the stings intact since their removal causes deterioration in triffid extracts Removing the top of the triffid will make them safe but not kill them and to prevent them calling for help, it is a good idea to destroy the clatter sticks. Their clatter sticks don’t snap but can be mangled.
Uses of a triffird:
Triffids have been farmed for their oils for replacing fossil fuels (which may have been the purpose for their development). Originally, the sting was cut off. It takes about two years for the sting to regrow but, when they found out that the quality of the oil is better with the sting thy left them with their stings. Triffid oil is pink and takes about six to seven years to
