wombat
Cube-dropping marsupial
A wombat is a stocky, burrowing marsupial native to Australia, roughly the size of a medium dog.
Wombats are known for their powerful digging claws and backward-facing pouches, which prevent dirt from entering while they burrow.
Their cube-shaped droppings, unique among animals, help mark territory without rolling away.
