Avocado
"The avocado is an archaic anomaly. Botanically and popularly regarded as
a fruit, it is typically used as a vegetable. It can hang on the tree for 16
months or more - roughly the gestation period of a rhinoceros - but ripens
only after picking, when its reptilian hide belies the buttery flesh within.
Indeed, scientists theorize that this extravagantly rich pulp evolved to
entice megafauna like mastodons and ground sloths to swallow the fruit whole
and disperse the giant seeds."
