Best Answer

The seed of the Coco de Mer is the largest in the plant kingdom weighing in at up to 45 pounds. This makes it too heavy to float and too large to be carried off by smaller animals. The appearance of the seed accurately resembels a female torso, both front and rear and is quite remarkable.
