Are you implying that coconuts migrate?

>>Are you implying that coconuts migrate?<<

If I am reading the article correctly, they do. They fall off the trees, are even swept off the trees in hurricanes and the like, into the ocean where they float from place to place (the map shows the migration path).

They are very hardy.

Also, humans carry them along (which is the primary point).

It is like horses, corn and frogs.

What terrific research. I wonder if it is possible to determine time lines from their work.

See Post #6. Not only did this Monty Python movie show the practical use for the coconut, they showed how they were spread: Peasants were tying them to birds. LOL

Funny movie.

No, merely suggesting that they migrate.
