This is not really a joke however it is a silly "Fun Fact"
As it turns out, according to the book Mammalogy, mammals are required to also have three middle ear bones, a neocortex (and therefore a brain), plus mammary glands. ... This leaves the poor Cocos nucifera, despite its shaggy appearance and quasi-milk, out of the running to be a mammal.
