Seychelles: Praslin Island


Praslin is home to the Coco de Mer tree - Rob is holding the nut of the female tree, which looks like a woman's buttocks, the fertile part of the male tree looks like (well, see for yourself....photo above) so this tree has had many fans over the centuries. It is found only in Seychelles. This area of the island is a world heritage site. The Coco de Mer nuts are the world's largest nuts.
