Also known by its French moniker, the coco de mer, the sea coconut is a variety of palm tree native to the Seychelles
The tree is a type of dioecious plant, with the male and female reproductive separated into different flowers.
But what makes this tropical flora particularly interesting is the shape of the coconut hailing from the tree's “female” flowers. Looking from a bird's eye view, it's not at all hard to see the distinctive shape of a lady's...er, posterior, curves and all.
This fruit can grow up to half a meter in length, with a hefty 20 kilogram weight, which tends to justify one hearing a certain Sir Mixalot song the moment they get a glimpse of this curvaceous coconut.
