All three known species of wombat produce cube-shapes faeces, better known as scats, but this does not mean they have a cube-shaped rectum. It is more to do with the type of food eaten by wombats and its fairly slow metabolism. The purpose in having cube shaped scats is so that the wombat can better mark its territory. Wombats leave scats to mark their territory atop rocks and logs, and cube shaped scats are less likely to roll away from the wombat's territory.
