And more specifically, you will hug your stomach and laugh and laugh when you know a "harsh" truth - the marsupial fauna , a bit like this baby bear, is different from other species - that is, they are shaped like a cube. direction.

The wombat segment has a cube shape.

But that's not the case, the hole is just as normal as the other holes, the reason is that the waste is cube-shaped because of the slow digestion process of wombat (koalas). Usually, this digestive process will take about 14 to 18 days. And this will make the amount of waste accumulated in the wombat body very dry and compressed.

Wombat's digestive system is very long, making them able to absorb large amounts of nutrients and water in food. However, this makes their droppings more dry as they reach the large intestine almost exclusively with fiber and residue.

Waste is cube shaped because the digestion process of wombat is very slow.

At the head of the large intestine there are horizontal ridges - according to experts, perhaps these ledges are the cause of their cubic shape.

If the head is a bit rough, the end of the large intestine is smooth and smooth - helping the waste retain its original shape.

The compacted solid waste is merely because the gut of the wombat is not as normal as a pipe.

Not only does it have a special shape, but the wombat's odor is also "darker" than other species.

The reason is because wombat has nightlife, along with poor eyesight, so their waste smell will be a way to mark the area, not allowing any foreigner to enter the area to cause conflict. In addition, this is also a way for males to attract females to propagate.

Talk a little bit about the Wombat koalas - they are pocketed dwarf animals, often eating at night and living alone.

Wombat koalas live and grow in underground caves or tunnels because they dig themselves in grasslands or eucalyptus forests in Australia.

The fur of this animal is very thick to help it maintain all activities during the winter. Although there is quite a round body with short legs, but in fact, the cape is a fairly agile animal, can accelerate up to 40km / h in a short distance.

Besides, if other marsupials have the mouth of the bag up, towards the head of the mother, the bear wombat bag has the back pocket. That's because they have to dig burrows, so they need to have an inverted bag, to avoid dropping the child in it while digging.
