Question

Did you know? Wombat poo is cubic — unique in nature. Their slow gut moulds the faeces into angular shapes before they come out. The wombats stack the cubes as territorial markers — they don't roll away. CSIRO research (2018) showed: it happens through variable elasticity of the intestinal walls.
