Thanks. That was... strangely arousing.

Prey doesn't by exit the trap but other creatures do. Some species of pitcher plants have exit valves for their pollinators (or was that a pitcher type of orchid - I can't recall. It was on a recent BBC documentary).

Considering that these were computer animations I wonder why they are so blurry. Did someone forget to turn off the artificial depth of field limiting algorithm?

Why was it playing Metroid music?

I thought it was playing the theme from AND NOW FOR OUR FEATURE PRESENTATION. At least it'd be thematically appropriate.

Let me out of the trap, Hal.

I'm sorry, prey, but I can't do that.
