Wombat

Australia · marsupial · diggers

Cube-shaped poop. Wombats are the only animals known to produce cube-shaped droppings, which help the poop stay put without rolling away.

Aussie natives. Wombats live only in Australia, including Tasmania, in forests, mountains, and heathlands of the south and east.

Short and strong. About a metre long and weighing 20 to 35 kg, wombats have short legs and powerful, muscular bodies built for digging.

Marsupial mums. Like kangaroos, wombats are marsupials, but their pouch faces backward so dirt doesn't get in while they burrow.
