When you want to hug a wombat, there's no need to worry about it resisting. Wombats are naturally gentle and enjoy being around humans. Sometimes they'll even follow their owner enthusiastically like a puppy and may hold onto your hand tightly even while sleeping. In the wild, if a wombat turns its rear toward you and wiggles, it actually means it likes you. It's marking you with scent from glands near its backside. They also have a rather amusing habit. When they feel itchy, they'll scratch furiously with their little paws. For these round, chubby animals, itchiness is actually a big challenge. Because of their low, stalky bodies and short limbs, each itchy spot requires a different solution. For example, if their back edges, they might rub against something like an electric fence. But if it's their rear that's itchy, they may look for a sharper stick to deal with that very specific problem. And the process can actually be quite complicated. Another interesting contrast to their rounded appearance is their poop. It's cube-shaped. This is due to their unique intestinal structure, which contracts and compresses during digestion, ultimately forming feces that are roughly cubic in shape.
