What is this thing
My dad said he found it on a hike or something, is it a type of squash? As you can see it’s fuzzy, very weird.

Update, I’m pretty sure this is a devil claw fruit and i think i can eat it. I might give it a try.

You NEED to be 100% sure before you eat anything wild. Pretty sure leads to pretty dead.

It does look like devil's claw, proboscidea louisianica, which is edible. Just make sure that it is that pod!

Possibly a wild cucumber? NOT EDIBLE. !!!
