Ape-Eating Plants,[1] originally known as hungry plants,[2] are enemies in Donkey Kong Country Returns and its port. They appear in some vine levels of the Forest only, and Ape-Eating Plants are first encountered in the level Vine Valley. These carnivorous plants are a blue, medium-sized variant of Chomps with a tongue in the shape of a vine. Ape-Eating Plants always appear on the ceiling where they hide behind some leaves while sticking their tongue down. When the Kongs grab its tongue, the plant slowly pulls the tongue back to its mouth, attempting to eat the Kongs. Its tongue is necessary for progressing higher into the level, and the Kongs must quickly get off its tongue to avoid being eaten. If it does, although a prompt does not appear to indicate this like with green Chomps, the player is able to force the Kongs out by shaking the controller (pressing 
or 
repeatedly in the port). If successful, the Kongs escape unharmed; otherwise, after a period of time, the plant spits them out and they lose a heart. Ape-Eating Plants cannot be defeated by any attack.
