This morning when let out to potty before his breakfast, Tibbe was smelling something intensely back by the boat gate and I walked out there and right before I got to him, there was a 1 1/2 inch long pod of some kind! It definitely looked as if it had been partially eaten and you could see these gnaw marks all over. The hull was green just like the early pecans on the trees and inside kind of reddish brown and it looked fossilized. I pretty much panicked but thought more than anything it looks like a big partially eaten pecan in its green shell that has been in this state for a long, long time. Even the pulp part was very hard almost like wood. I brought it in and put it on the floor to see if Tibbe would approach it and he got close but then backed off and acted disinterested. I doubt if he got any of it whatever it is. But it doesn't look to me like any of those Sago Palm seeds on the websites and does look like a pecan in the green hulls. Still scary to find a big seed in the backyard after reading this yesterday.
