Let’s talk wombats! The common wombat (Vombatus ursinus) is an herbivorous marsupial from southeastern Australia. It’s equipped with strong claws that are crucial for building its burrows. When it needs to defend itself from predators like the Tasmanian devil, it will run head-first into a burrow and leave its hindquarters sticking out as a shield. Why? Because its rear end is bone lined with cartilage and thick skin that’s hard for predators to claw, bite, or injure. There are even clues that wombats may use their hindquarters to crush the skulls of attackers! An unrelated, yet equally interesting fact: its poop is cube-shaped.
