Colura zoophaga
''Colura zoophaga'' is a species of epiphytic liverwort that is endemic to the African highlands, specifically parts of Kenya. It belongs to the genus ''Colura'', which has been hypothesized to be carnivorous as early as 1893. It is a recently described species that was the subject of the first scientific study aimed at investigating the allegations of carnivory in liverworts.〔Barthlott, W., Porembski, S., Seine, R., and Theisen, I.

== Description ==
''Colura zoophaga'' is a small epiphytic liverwort that measures no more than several millimetres in size and grows on the trunk and branches of ''Cliffortia nitida''. It possesses elongated water sacs formed by the fusion of the upper leaf margin rolling inward down to the rest of the leaf. A funnel-shaped channel at the lower leaf margin leads to a small opening into the water sac and is covered by a movable lid that only open inward. Leaves are 1 mm long or smaller. It is because of this bladder-like configuration that these traps have been compared to those of ''Utricularia''.〔〔
