Nepenthes

Better known as monkey cups, a nickname these plants earned due to the fact that monkeys are sometimes observed drinking rainwater from them. They are also carnivorous, trapping insects, but larger species of these plants (like the Nepenthes Rafflesiana) also trap even rats. We have already established that these plants look like cups, so these cups contains syrup and fluids which are used to drown and digest animals that fall therein. The next time you think humans traditionally are the only ones that hunted rats, think twice.
