Quiz ↓Un animal hace caca con forma de cubo. Es el wombat, de Australia. Cava en la tierra. Come hierba de noche. Deja pequeños cubos detrás.
Durante años, nadie sabía por qué. Las esquinas son difíciles de hacer. Otros animales hacen caca redonda. Los científicos miran dentro del wombat.
Dentro del wombat, algunas paredes son duras. Las paredes duras forman las esquinas. El wombat pone los cubos sobre rocas. Esto marca su lugar. La caca redonda rodaría.
