Seychelles wildlife is rich and unique. There are
a lot of different bird, fish and plant species.
A coconut Coco de Mer is a symbol of the republic.

Also known by its French moniker, the coco de
mer, the sea coconut is a variety of palm tree
native to the Seychelles
3
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.
