bizarre coconut

Don't remember much but there was a part when I was in a bodega and I wanted to buy a coconut. Someone else wanted one too and I knew I had to hurry in case there was only one left. In the basket, there was something that I thought was a coconut, but it was this weird reddish fibrous thing kind of squishy and greasy. Like durian, but hairy? I was surprised that they were selling this kind of coconut.
