Ever wondered why wombats produce cube-shaped feces? No, they don't have a square anus, and yes, they still have normal intestines. But, unlike other animals, wombats have a unique internal feature that causes their waste to solidify into perfect cubes. Recent intriguing research conducted by experts focuses on understanding the secrets behind this phenomenon.
Join us as we talk to researchers to explore the fascinating complexities behind the formation of wombats' cubic poop and unravel the truth behind their square-shaped droppings. From investigating their anatomy to uncovering the potential purposes of this peculiar adaptation, we shed light on the mysteries of wombats' cubic poop, providing a deeper understanding of these remarkable marsupials.
Original Production:
"Secrets in the Scat", a co-production of Terra Mater Studios and WGBH/NOVA in association with ARTE France, written and directed by Ruth Berry.

That thumbnail is pure comedy gold
Hi Daniil!
It's amazing right?! 😂
@@terramater please tell me the resemblance of that arrow to a certain arrow was on purpose
Imagine if it was longer, they'd be shitting bricks.
🙈
Pretty interesting 👌 and Faecesbook was a great one 😂 (the platform that many folks still use should ideally rename itself too as this name would just be so much more apt & fitting)
Right?! Glad you like it!
I am convinced that wombats originated from Minecraft and were transported to the real world. They eventually lost their blocky appearance, but their poop still retains that shape.
Interesting theory 🧐
Y'all did not make me watch animals poop. But with a video topic like this, I should have seen this coming. So I set myself up for failure.
Oh, c'mon, it's still interesting 🤓💩
Yoooo, they really are shtting bricks! lol
😂
Wombats are still insanely adorable despite this odd feature of theirs!
Absolutely!
I knew they had won the IG Nobel prize, but I didn't know they showed up like that 😂
So creative and funny, right?! 😂
The beginning was considerably more lurid than one might have anticipated. No aspersion understand, just hadn't been in the right gear. The elastic band example was most useful for one's conception of cube formation.
It's quite easy to understand with the elastic band, right?!
Best explanation video for the cubepoop!
Glad you liked it!
3:44 Nice wordplay.
Thanks!
You have such a wonderful voice that I thought it was an AI generated. Wombat are awesome.

Fascinating!

Thank you! 🤗 Help us to spread it by sharing with your friends

How cool that they "push out 8-cornered" poops! I learned something new today. Thank you! I was interested in the maths around this phenomenon. I like how you showed it briefly (as most of us wouldn't understand what I believe was calculus), so you then showed the rubber band analogy - get it? "ANAL" ogy? LOL!
It’s a funny topic because we’re still talking about 💩, but it’s really interesting to see how researchers found this out!
At first did you think the intestines were square or the anus was square? 🤔
@@terramater Yes, I believe I did. I was trying hard to conceptualize how it happens, certainly. LOL
🤣
OK, I laugh out lout at the feces book joke. 😊
Hahah glad to hear you enjoy our video 😅
I'm so HAPPY I actually found information about this 😂😂😂 since I was today's years old when I found out and I was confused AF 🤣🤣
It's quite interesting, right?!
Yeah, I'm not shitting everywhere. I'll stick to e-mail to communicate, lol 😉
Better 😅
@@terramater lol 👍
More poop puns please
Your wish is our command 💩😂
Cubetastic 💩!
