@Chiswick Chap: I'm somewhat confused by your reversion of my edit. In your edit summary, you noted that the type species D. zibethinus is "certainly important" – I agree, and that is why I added more information about how it came to be called D. zibethinus. The previous version noted that "zibethinus" means "civet" but did not explain how this relates to durians. Zacwill (talk) 13:07, 26 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
OK, well if you want more explanation then it can be added; clearly the durian stink reminded folks of civet stink. No intention to remove any addition, but your edit comment spoke of removal, as did the -87 bytes in the edit summary. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:10, 26 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
I said that I was removing the variant spellings, which seemed unimportant (all of them being obsolete). You're free to disagree with me on this, but there was no need to undo the rest of my edit. Zacwill (talk) 13:15, 26 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

I feel like that's somewhat important information to have. There's a video from 2025 where some guy hits its skin with 3300° Celsius and it just tanks the flames for around 15 seconds. I'm not a durian expert but I think that's pretty cool and should probably be mentioned if it hasn't already. GameProjections (talk) 01:59, 20 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
That's just a measure of its thick skin; the same be true of a grapefruit, say. It's not a noteworthy fact and videos aren't reliable sources, either. Chiswick Chap (talk) 09:58, 20 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
