"I'd rather be ugly and unique than beautiful" - wombat.
European-style double eyelids, onion big nose, short legs and feet, and a sense of driving walking. Beauty has nothing to do with it, but it is also calm. Round, short, stupid, stupid, cute, wombats live a kind of "natural beauty" cuteness. Humans have a natural affection for seemingly non-aggressive creatures, and wombats can be called "murderers of heart". Although it is a bit insulting to the word "bear" and lacks the momentum of "bear tyrant" in the world, it plays a good "anus". The "butt" is of great significance for the survival of the wombat. It is their most powerful, integrating offense and defense. Just like the shield warriors in the game, there are only two things the wombats have to do when encountering enemies, turn around and raise their shields, and the rest is to use their strong big butts to defend against enemies.
The butt structure of the "hip" warrior wombat is not ordinary, their butt has a hard "skin", which is basically composed of cartilage, and in the Australian protozoa, any existing predator scratches, scratches, and bites like attacking a super thick shield, and has no eggs. In the wombat's tunnel, once the intruder's head is behind the wombat's butt, the wombat crushes the predator with its powerful giant buttocks.
It's really a good "anus" to use on the blade.
I'd like to call it Australia's best tunnel master. And this mastery is actually forced out by wombats after 40 million years of survival of the fittest in Australia's dry habitat environment. In this article, we will take a look at the bear with local Australian characteristics: the Australian wombat.
Due to Australia's unique natural climate, it is home to many unique animals in the world. One of the obvious characteristics is that these native animals have standard "bags" on their bodies. For this reason, they are also known as "marsupial mammals", and wombats are one of them. However, it is not the same species as koalas (koalas) and is even less well known.
Wild wombats live mainly in open forests in southeastern Australia at an altitude of no more than 1,800 meters. Adult wombats are about 1 meter long and weigh about 30 kilograms. They have flat heads, stocky statures, and bear the body of a bear but have the face of a rat. It looks like a miniature version of a brown bear, hence the name "wombat".
In fact, wombats are neither rodents nor related to brown bears. According to DNA research, wombats can be traced back to 40 million years ago, and they belong to the suborder wombat of the order Kangaroo. There are only two families in this suborderWombatidae and koalas。However, unlike koalas, wombats are not only masters of infrastructure, but also a good "anus" for real play.
Wombats feed on grass and wild vegetables, and sleep in their burrows during the day, and their metabolism is very slow. It takes about 14 days to digest, but wombats are not the ones who are afraid of things, they will protect the borders centered on their nests, and even actively attack intruders. In fact, they do not have natural predators in the strict sense of the word. Predators such as foxes, dingoes, and ferrets are mainly a threat to wombats that are young or just into adulthood.
Wombats are natural hip-lifting warriors. There is a very hard "skin" on the buttocks, not only the buttocks are ** up to 1 cm thick, ** is basically composed of cartilage, like a super thick shield, especially in the authentic environment where wombats are good at, they can exert great resistance. And this "buttocks" often make many hunters die. In the face of particularly powerful intruders, wombats will also actively destroy tunnels and suffocate predators.
Trappers like foxes often die under the "buttocks" of wombats. The wombat's escape mode of changing passive defense to active counterattack is actually very rare in the animal world.
Although they are all "marsupial mammals", wombat's nursery pouch is very special in that it opens backwards. This unique structure is all about facilitating another of its innate divine skills--- burrowing. Opening the bag backwards ensures that dirt does not enter the bag when digging a burrow, making it easier for wombats to dig and dig and dig freely.
Caves and tunnels are wombat-run "dojos" that are territorial. Will do its best to protect the borders centered on its lair, even in the face of carnivorous hunters. With the cave and the iron butt, the wombat is very strong in combat and defense on its home turf. It's a real jungle bully. It's just that, because they always move forward and retreat with the burrow, the number of wombats that die each year due to the rain is far greater than the number that is killed by predators.
During the dry season, bushfires are a frequent natural disaster. Every year when the forest fire season begins, the animals have to flee in all directions. At this time, the burrows dug by the wombats become a refuge for small animals. Scientists have observed that many animals, such as koalas, hares, squirrels and more, enter the burrows dug by wombats to escape the fires.
In the jungle, there are not many buildings that can fight natural disasters such as forest fires. Wombats' burrows are very sought-after, but as owners, wombats will carefully identify the animals that take refuge, and if they are predators such as wild dogs and foxes, they will decisively turn them away, and even attack them. A wombata has been digging and moving all his life, and many abandoned caves have helped many animals. Calling the wombat a fire hero is actually well deserved.
Wombats usually mark their territory with feces, and as solitary animals, they also use the smell of feces to communicate. An adult wombata can excrete about 100 grains of feces in a single night to mark territory and exchange information. It's not uncommon to communicate with feces, but wombats play it to new heights.
Because of their feces, they are hexahedrons in the form of cubes. This is probably the only square-shaped stool in the world.
This shape of stool has its unique "advantage" in that it does not roll in place and is difficult to be blown away by the wind. And more information can be marked, and other wombats can know the size, age and even breeding of the owner as long as they see the feces of a certain place. This is the world's first "sticky note".
Scientists have found that wombats have taken great pains to pull out the six-sided cubes one by one. Their intestines are very long, with two flexible and two rigid areas around the intestinal wall that produce periodic contractions, which contract every few seconds. To match this compression, wombats also have special bones on their backs.
Hard-Soft-Hard-Soft-Hard-Soft", after more than 100,000 compressions, the stool becomes a standard hexahedron. And how to excrete it from the body, it takes a real miracle. From this point of view, the wombat is also worthy of the title of "hip-lifting warrior", under this kind of internal and external cultivation of the "anus", the wombat is indeed a good "anus" to play, and it is really hard "natural beauty".
Australian wombat, worthy of the famous "hip-lifting warrior" and "fire hero", such a magical animal, do you know? It's just that today's wombats, under the hunting and infestation of humans, and the competition for food resources by Australian hares, have become critically endangered. The number is even rarer than the giant panda, and such a distinctive animal really needs human efforts to protect.
