Scientists Finally Discovered Why Wombats Poo Are Cube-Shaped – Science Times
After years of wondering, scientists have finally discovered why wombats poo are cube-shaped. Here’s how their poo is formed into cubes.
Scientists have long been baffled why wombats poo are square. But a recent international study has provided the answer to this unusual natural phenomenon.
In the past, people mostly believed that cube-shaped poo is formed because these marsupials have square sphincters. But the University of Tasmania wildlife ecologist Scott Carver said that the cube-shaped poo is formed much higher, in the wombat’s intestine.
The research was published on January 28 in the scientific journal Soft Matter.
