Why do wombats form square poos on logs?

Answer 1

Wombats produce cube shaped "scats" because of the type of food they eat, and their 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 on the top of logs and rocks, and cube shaped scats are less likely to roll away from the wombat's territory.

Answer 2

Wombats produce cube shaped "scats" because of the type of food eaten by wombats and their 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.

Answer 3

They poop on places to mark their territory and let others know they're around. These places are usually high rocks or other places. Their poop is square so it doesn't roll off those places and the message as appropriately sent.
