The question
is, “Is The Giant Hogweed An Alien Life Form?”
I read an
article that claimed that the heatwave in the United Kingdom was causing the
most toxic plant the “Giant Hogweed,” to spread.
The plant,
it’s botanical name “Heracleum Mantegazzianum,” was imported from Central Asia
in 1893.
I wonder if
the importers knew how dangerous this plant was before releasing it to the
wild, as the sap contains toxic chemicals and can burn people and animals if
its touched.
Now I
understand most plants have a defence mechanism if they feel threatened but
this seems a bit extreme for a plant.
So, with that
in mind, could it be an alien life form?
We all assume
that aliens walk on two legs, but could some have roots instead?
But hey, I’m
no Botanist, it’s just a theory.
What do you think?
