Jonas! Guess what?! It's hard to believe. But, it's true! There is an animal in Australia. It looks like a hairy potato... The size of a dog. It's a Wombat. And. And. It poops cubes! Cubes! Not logs! Not balls! Cubes! Wait, what? That's what I said. But, how? Make a circle with the fingers of one hand. Now take a finger from the other hand... Put it in the circle. Now squeeze that finger. Squeeze it. Squeeze it. Squeeze it. Say... I'm squeezing it. Say it louder! Now, stop! When wombats eat... They have special squeezy parts. The food goes through those squeezy parts. (That was your finger.) The food gets... Squeezed. Squeezed. Squeezed. Until TADA... Out comes a cube of poop. But, wait... Why? Your mom probably writes your name on things. You know, so people know it's yours. Well, wombats don't have a pen... So they poop on things. That's their way of saying... "This is mine!" But, if they pooped on things and it was round... It would roll off. But, with cubes... Cubes sit! Cubes stay still! Cubes work! So if you ever see a cube of poop... You can yell... WHERE'S THE WOMBAT? Next time! We talk about... Flamingos! But now... It's tuna time! Catball PS - I tried. I tried to poop cubes. I tried really really hard. Round. Round. Round. BUT. I pooped on a rock today. It's mine! I claimed it... With my poop.
