One of the most mysterious things about the Venus flytrap is
that scientists still don't understand how the trap closes. The
flytrap does not have the muscles, tendons, or nervous system
necessary for movement. Scientists guess that the trap might
close using some clectrical impulses and pressure changes. The
longer they study the Venus flytrap, the more likely scientists are
to discover how it functions. It should be no mystery, however,
why this unusual plant has captured the imaginations of so
many people.
