Wombats Poop Cubes. That's It. That's the Post.
The bare-nosed wombat of Australia is the only animal on Earth that produces cube-shaped poop. About 100 little bricks a day.
Scientists spent years trying to figure out how. Some wondered if wombats had square butts. (They don't.) Turns out it's their 33-foot-long intestines — sections of different stiffness squeeze and mold the poop into cubes as it dries out.
Why? So their droppings don't roll off the rocks where they mark their territory.
This research won an actual scientific award in 2019.
Nature is undefeated.

The fastest bird on land and the fastest 2 legged creature are one in the same; the Ostrich. The Ostrich can burst up to 43 mph while sustaining speeds of 31 mph.
The Ostrich stands between 7 and 9 feet tall and can weight up to 300 pounds. While the ostrich cannot speak, nor is it yellow, I think we can all agree, the ostrich is still one "Big Bird"
