Grand Canyon Part VII: One Last Mystery
Saw this outside of Sedona. Could not decide if this was from a Javelina or a color-blind Leprechaun.
Can you help? You have to admit it's strange. Colorful, but strange.
Patty's brother Thom asked if I would post some photos from trip, so the past seven Grand Canyon posts are his fault.
You will be relieved to hear that this concludes the Grand Canyon segment of this blog. I promise.
This is as high as I can count in Roman numerals.

I know that I speculated but I am going to say the fruit of a prickly pear cacti is shown along with chestnuts in the feces of a javelina possibly.

We are both on the same page when I say that it looks like animal feces, right? But those colors…hmmm. I see what looks like chestnuts in there…but if it is from a wild pig they eat anything and everything. What would be that turquoise color? Or maybe blueberries? Or some kind of garbage? They are supposed to eat prickly pear cacti, right? Herbivores?
