Thought to have been extinct for 70 million

years, a living coelacanth was netted in the

Indian Ocean in 1938. They are powerful

predators, averaging 5 feet (1.5 m) in

length and weighing about 100 lbs (45 kg).

Coco de Mer, or the double coconut

palm, produces some of the largest

seeds in the plant kingdom. Weighing

up to 60 lbs (27 kg), they take

around 10 years to ripen.
