The melon is structurally part of the nasal apparatus the nose and comprises most of the mass tissue between the blowhole and the tip of the snout. The function of the melon is not completely understood, but scientists believe it is a bioacoustic component, providing a means of focusing sounds used in Animal echolocation echolocation and impedance matching. Impedance matching refers to the melon s function in creating a similarity between characteristics of its tissue and the surrounding water, so acoustic energy can flow out of the head and into the environment with the least loss of energy.

File citron.melon.jpg thumb The citron melon Citrullus lanatus , or tsamma , is thought to be the original ancestral variety of watermelon . It is in the family cucurbitaceae cucurbit which consists of various squash plant squashes , melon s, and gourd s. Its fruit has a hard white flesh, rendering it less likely to be eaten raw more often it is pickled or used to make preserves. It is especially useful for the latter, because it has a high pectin content. History The citron melon is Indigenous ecology native to Africa , probably the Kalahari desert , where it still grows abundantly. The time and place of its first domestication is unknown, but it appears to have been grown in ancient Egypt at least four thousand years ago. It is grown as food in Africa, especially dry or desert regions, including South Africa . In some areas, it is even used as a source of water during dry seasons. Today, it s not only found in Africa, but also domesticated in North America spanning much of the Southern US. There it is generally somewhat divergent from its pure form, in part from accidental crossbreeding with modern, domesticated watermelon. It is known in the southern plains states and Australia as pie melon , as well as citron melon. These impure, domesticated versions are sometimes oblong in shape, have unusually colored seeds or meat, or are otherwise different than the original form. It has become a feral species, growing wild, in western Mexico . Characteristics The actual fruit of this plant resembles the more modern, domesticated watermelons, except it s smaller and more spheroid.
