| Polar bear eating a melon! |
|
| Maybe not the most natural food for polar bears. |
Watermelon refers to both fruit and plant of a vine-like
(climber and trailer) herb originally from southern
Africa and one of the most common types of melon.
This flowering plant produces a special type of
fruit known by botanists as a pepo, which has a
thick rind (exocarp) and fleshy center (mesocarp
and endocarp); pepos are derived from an inferior
ovary and are characteristic of the Cucurbitaceae.
The watermelon fruit, loosely considered a type
of melon (although not in the genus Cucumis), has
a smooth exterior rind (green and yellow) and a
juicy, sweet, usually red, but sometimes orange,
yellow, or pink interior flesh... |
