There's a coconut called Coco de Mer that looks like a butt, or more precisely like human female pelvis. Female trees produce the coconut and the male trees produce a flower that looks like a massive dong. You can't even make this shit up.

It only grows naturally in Seychelles πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡¨ so it's the national symbol, and because of that you can see this butt silhouette on literally everything, even in the Seychelles passport. Enter the country? Butt stamp in your passport.

I actually think I could have made that up

You can't say all that and not post pictures, so here they are.

Sorry, I was typing this on my phone while pooping.

But it would be better if you added a ! Right before your square brackets to embed the image directly.

And here's a better image of the dong:

Well, that's impressive. I'll remember that for the image embed.

Also, I kinda didn't want to add images so people would doubt my comment and go check for themselves and be shocked twice. It just sounds so made up...

I feel like I need to go to Seychelles and have a coconut now. The butt stamp would look great in a passport.

You can have a coconut in Seychelles, but if by "have" you mean "eat", then it likely won't be Coco de Mer. They are rarely consumed, probably because they are, like, $300-500 a piece (last time I checked). If you mean to poses one, then good news, you get an official certificate with each one, else you can't take it out of the country.

Holy crap, $300 for the lols is a bit much.

They're also nicknamed "coco-fesses" so "coconut butts" in English. Another fun fact: It's the largest seed in the world.
