I know I spend too much time blogging about the antics of animals on the farm, but this really caught my attention - obvious clickbait leading to an article that presents exactly what it says in the title. I never knew that wombats produced cube-shaped poo!

Mystery of wombats' cubed poop revealed
 
"We currently have only two methods to manufacture cubes: We mould it, or we cut it. Now we have this third method," Ms Yang said.

"It would be a cool method to apply to the manufacturing process," she suggested, "how to make a cube with soft tissue instead of just moulding it."

I hope she washes her hands first!
