The Animal That Makes Cubes

One animal makes cube shaped poop. It is a wombat, from Australia. It digs in the ground. It eats grass at night. It leaves small cubes behind.

Ett dyr lager bæsj formet som terninger. Det er en vombat, fra Australia. Den graver i bakken. Den spiser gress om natten. Den etterlater seg små terninger.

For years, nobody knew why. Corners are hard to make. Other animals make round poop. Scientists look inside the wombat.

I mange år visste ingen hvorfor. Hjørner er vanskelige å lage. Andre dyr lager rund bæsj. Forskere ser inni vombaten.

Inside the wombat, some walls are hard. The hard walls make the corners. The wombat puts cubes on rocks. This marks its place. Round poop would roll away.

Inni vombaten er noen vegger harde. De harde veggene lager hjørnene. Vombaten legger terningene på steiner. Dette markerer stedet dens. Rund bæsj ville rullet bort.
