Panda Fact
Weird Wombat Fact
For anyone who interest why! 'Wombat poo is cubic, not because the wombat has a square-shaped a**s, but because it has a very long and slow digestive process, typically 14 to 18 days, which allows the digestive matter to become extremely dry and compacted. The wombat also has a very long digestive tract, allowing it to absorb the most nutrients and water from its food. The first part of their large intestine contains horizontal ridges that probably mould the poo into cubes, whereas the last part of the large intestine is relatively smooth, allowing the cubic shape to be maintained. The highly compacted nature of the poo means that the r****m is unable to contour the poo into the more usual tubular shape.
I actually know this from Fibbage. That was a funny question. The game was just like "what shape is wombat poop in?"
And Emu's have pyramid shaped scat, I once had professor who collect all the different Australian native animal scat

Dear Mother Nature, I applaud you! You have one hell of an imagination!
The "facts" for the bigfin squid and for the flamingo are funny, but the entry for the christmas tree worm was barely even phoned in...
I looked at this tab 2 days after it was created and absolutely no comments then I look today COMMENTS GALORE
This gave me a smile and i got phobias at the same time. Good times
One other fact - rats can't vomit. It's why they're easy to kill with poison.
neither can horses which is why windsucking/cribbing is bad
