Vegetable Ivory (nuts without its hard outer shell) found in elephant dung..

Kuyenda Camp, Zambia Africa

Yeah, right. But notice this is mostly round fruit? These are the Ilala nuts from the Ilala palm. The outer skin has been digested by the elephant leaving the fruit intact and ready to germinate.

With all the poop we saw, I'm considering a "poop gallery"... well maybe.
