Animals
Wombats are the only animals known to produce cube-shaped droppings.
A wombat can leave dozens of small, almost perfectly cubic droppings in a night, often stacked on rocks and logs. The cubes do not roll away, which helps mark territory.
Why is this true?
Researchers found that the wombat intestine has stiffer and more elastic sections that squeeze the contents into flat faces over the long, slow digestion. The work won an Ig Nobel Prize in 2019.
