Wombats are the only creatures in the world, whose poop is cube-shaped. They excrete around 80 to 100 cubes every night.
But why cubes?
Wombats live in dry environments. Their long intestinal tract and slow digestive process help them to absorb every drop of water from food, producing dry and compact poop.
Also, according to experts, the final 8% of the intestine varies in elasticity. Here, some parts of the intestinal wall are stretchy, while some are stiff. The stiffer parts might be creating distinct edges, thus shaping the poop into cubes.
Besides this, cube-shaped poop also helps wombats to mark their territory.
Do you know how?
Wombats usually poop on rocks or logs. As the poop is cube-shaped, it doesn't roll off, stays in place and helps ward off other wombats.
