A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
It was just lying in a flower bed right beside my driveway. No trees nearby. I couldn't really see inside the holes very well, but from what I could see, it was dark brown or black inside.
It's about 2.5-3 inches in diameter. I'm not sure what it's made of, really. At a distance, it looked like some kind of animal dropping, but up close, it looks more plant-like and it has two holes in it, as if it had been attached to a branch, maybe? I've seen one of these before around here, and I feel like a dork that I don't know what on Earth it is.
Oh, I think you're right. Thanks! I'd never seen this before and it fascinated me.
Wow. This one was about six feet tall, I think. Amazing.
Whoa, I thought it looked like agave, but I didn't think it could get that big.
