Do you're telling me that it had nothing to do with swallows being either European or African?!

It could grip it by the husk.

It’s not a matter of where it grips it! It’s a matter of weight ratios!

A five ounce bird could not carry a 1 pound coconut.

Who are you who is so wise in the ways of science?
