No, it’s not a blackberry… it’s a deer snout. There are about 300 million olfactory receptors found in the deer snout to find and interpret different smells. But why the bumps on the nose? This texture increases the nose’s surface area to trap the scent molecules. A smooth nose wouldn’t be as effective at picking up the scents because they would just slide off. Basically, a ridged nose traps the molecules, and gives the deer more time to evaluate what they are smelling. Compared to a human, a deer’s sense of smell is about 500 to 1,000 times more powerful.
Nah, remember I’m a techie. I was going to use Tin Eye on the picture, which would have been cheating in itself, but if you right click on the picture and choose “Show in new tab” then look at the URL…
Note to everybody: If you are going to use a picture for a quiz, rename the picture to something other than what it is
@Suzi…. see that is the noise you make and what happens after you eat a whole box of donuts and try to whistle….(or in Paulo’s case, when his zipper busts or he passes gas)…
Fish eggs? Caviar?
No, Ma’am…
It also looks like a close up of a blackberry…except it’s a really slimy looking blackberry.
No, Ma’am…
Passionfruit seeds?
Nope.
Bunch of eyes on a weird bug? (can you tell I really want that box of donuts?)
No, Ma’am…keep trying…
Psssttt…guess faster!
…..Nooooo….
I nose the answer but I cheated so I’m not going to say it.
Thanks!
Nose….nose…is that a clue?…a dog’s nose? They are always wet.

I never would have guessed it. I was going with blackberry myself
The original picture…
(sighs) I am guessing the donuts are gone now…especially since I didn’t guess the answer….
If it’s any consolation…they were delicious!😛
Don’t make me “report” you!
I dare ya!
You know I will do it!
Yer gonna hate yourself if I tell you how I figured it out.
Do NOT say deer boogers!

Well, you aren’t going to get any donuts, that’s for sure! 😡
Like anyone is! They are history, just a vague memory of chin sprinkles now…. 😆
Sneaky little booger!
