"How wombats produce their cube-shape poo has long been a biological
puzzle but now an international study has provided the answer to this
unusual natural phenomenon.
The cube shape is formed within the intestines – not at the point of
exit, as previously thought – according to research published in
scientific journal Soft Matter on Thursday.
The paper expands upon preliminary findings first presented at a meeting
of the American Physical Society’s fluid dynamics division in Georgia in
2018."
