This isn't difficult.

Why would it not be at least possible? Evolution has no aesthetic limit, it has a blank check: We have species that look exactly like leaves or branches. Nature loves nothing more than looking like objects in the environment.
So, I personally do not grant that a beachball elephant is impossible on account of it's absurdity alone. It certainly isn't like trying to imagine a square circle, where the impossibility is apparent from the start.
Perhaps this openness to possibility is a difference in disposition between theists and atheists.
Beachballs don’t got neurons.
