What is a durian's special adaptation?

The durian's special adaptation is its thick, spiky husk, which protects the fruit from predators while allowing it to remain intact until it is ripe. This tough exterior deters animals from accessing the fruit prematurely, ensuring that the seeds inside can mature fully. Additionally, the strong odor of the durian, often described as pungent or foul, attracts specific animals that help disperse its seeds, aiding in the plant's reproduction. These adaptations help the durian thrive in its native tropical environments.
