Question Thing in Engine Compartment

Just to the right and down from my battery is a plastic box that looks like it is split into two halves. One line goes to the throttle body and another goes to the rear of the truck. I took the caps off and smelled them but they were dry and so was the canister. I was wondering what it was.

It's a fuel evaporation canister. It's part of the emissions system. It recycles fuel vapors in the gas tank - that's where the other hose goes.
