Coconuts with 5 eyes


By Dr Roland Bourdeix, click on the picture to enlarge...

Normal coconuts have three round indented markings or "eyes"...
This coconut have only five eyes... and a very suggestive shape!

It is a real coconut, not a virtual one.

It belongs to the private collection of Dr R. Bourdeix, in Montpellier, France. There is no coconut palm producing regularly this kind of such a strange coconut. This sample is the only known example of a coconut having only five eyes and such a shape. This phenomenon occurs no more than one time within several millions of normal coconuts.
