“Now why didn’t I think of that?
Oh, that’s right, I don’t have skads of money and time laying around!
Oh, and I’m sane too...’course that’s just my opinion.”
Best line from the article:
“Next, the researchers say they’ll investigate how only two intestinal grooves can extrude a cube, as opposed to four—one for each face except the top and bottom.
In other words, this was only phase ONE... OF PROBABLY MANY MORE investigations in square poop wombat technology.

Doesn’t look like a “Bat” at all.

This will be a good topic for Thanksgiving dinner conversation. Pass the cranberry dressing please. Thank you. Say, did you hear about the latest study on Wombat sh*t?

They’re relatives of the koala.
A metatherian analog to eutherian rodents. An example of convergent evolution.

"The Minister of Technology met the three Russian leaders today to discuss a 4 million pound airliner deal....
".....None of them were indigenous to Australia, carried their babies in pouches, or ate any of those yummy Eucalyptus leaves..Yum Yum. That's the news for wombats."

Not sure how grooves can make poop square. But given that the “poop chute” is grooved, I’ll have to assume... Maybe it's like those old PlayDough extruders with the different shape openings? I'd find and post a Gif of one tomorrow. Only have smartphone tonight.

The Kingsford effect.. a very rare gene set must be required to pull this off.. probably due to climate change no doubt.

“it's not like they're trying to build little brick pyramids,”Well they should! They could build houses, warehouses, schools, museums, new Amazon buildings, etc.
This is amazing. Next, I think they should work on making tetrahedron-shaped poop next.
