Plants grow teeth, stomachs, fur, develop poison, spikes, et, they fight with other plants with for territory, they cooperate with some insects and birds, etc.
How are they not animals?

Animals aren't defined by any of those features.

I'm sure the frog is one quick jump away from safety too.
Some sort of Disney/Beef Industry PsyOp.

Human classifications are arbitrary -- not necessarily in the sense of drawing arbitrary boundaries, but in the way we assign primacy to certain features over others in a fairly subjective manner. Different choices in that regard can result in the observations being clustered in different ways, inviting different boundaries.

The shape and texture of that belly is designed in suck a way no one can get out, the walls are slippery and the liquid is sticky as glue.

It's just interesting, how does a plant, that has no nervous system, neurons, can analyze info and develop physical features and planning\tactical behavior just like animals do?

It's because many plants might bear similarly round fruits but have strikingly different flowers.

Ah, sticky AND slippery! That's the plant's secret.
What are the practical military applications of such an idea?

it's almost like genetic pressures don't require consciousness

It takes consciousness to recognize intelligence,

This is OP, OP is a bot. Pitcher plants are for larger animals to shit in and ants, small frogs incidentally can get stuck but not that one. These plants are tiny, a capuchin would never fit (their native ranges also don't match up). Pacific tree frogs in LIVE in pitcher plants. Tiny ass shrews shit in these things.
This is nature documentary tier, ask your high school teacher about this shit.

retards, learn basic pattern recognition or tell your master to implement vision capability
These are plants, they're not doing anything that a plant couldn't do. There are fundamental limitations to how plants develop that prevent animal-like sensing, movement, and awareness from ever developing. Slime molds have their own unique collective "intelligence" and plants certainly are aware of chemicals that no animal might be able to perceive. I don't want to knock down our plant overlords, but no, they'll never be animal-like outside of pattern mimicry, exploiting insects to do the work of locomotion.

Cell walls contain cellulose, most have chloroplasts, etc. They arent animals

Then why are IQ tests done with pen and paper, are pens and papers conscious?

>sci fails taxonomy again
If a plant evolved to walk and breathe and see and eat and shit tomorrow it wouldn’t be an animal. If you found an alien rat-like creature it wouldn’t be an animal. A stationary photosynthetic coral on the other hand is an animal. Animals are anything under kingdom Animalia, which is a single specific lineage. Anything independent of that lineage isn’t an animal no matter how many surface level similarities it has

Because modern taxonomy is based on cladistics, not phenetics.
