I've no idea Anthony, but perhaps it's a cocoon of some sort?

I've a puzzle of me own for you - what's this natural object (the file name should give you a clue)?

Rogan,

It's either an elephant with it's eye closed, or perhaps an exfoliating rock?  Or aliens.... it could always be aliens.  In fact so could Anthony's...... when no-one is looking these little legs pop out and it runs off, or something like that.....  ;)

Anthony,
looks like a dung scoop of a dung beetle?

Rogan,
a dunghill from an elephant or rhino? Or a hot spring?

Rogan,

I go with Paul's suggestion - an exfoliating rock, or an example, in other words, of weathering on rock, hot days, cool nights, flaking rock.

Anthony, an egg capsule of some sort?

Mine is not of animal origin. It is about the size of a Kiwi fruit, but is not fruit nor seed.

Vegetable?  If it was covered in breadcrumbs instead of hairy bits I would have said Scotch egg  :o

Anthony,

It is not the innards of a ball of some sort, say a cricket ball or the like?

Funnily enough, Paddy, I thought it might be a bald tennis ball!

I should be cooking supper but this round fuzzy puzzle is really getting to me - too round and uniform  ::)
