Very interesting, but poses the question, why donāt any other animals employ this technique? There must be many who would benefit from a stable and stationary trail.
But it also prompted my memory in 2 similar directions. A bit tasteless perhaps (and Iām not talking about my dogsā fascination for the leavings of rabbits and deer) but humerous nevertheless.
Wombats are herbivores. An owner driver I knew of in The Territory was no doubt proud of his sexual prowess and cognisant of the habits of this particular marsupial.
He named his truck The Wombat, and the legend on the rear of his trailer read:
āThe Wombat, Eats, Roots, and Leavesā.
The commas are important in the understanding of the joke if you know what the Australian verb, To Root, means in English. 
And a similarly rude gem was uttered by that wonderful actor Frank Middlemass quoting a character he was playing at the time.
When asked by his young grandson āWhy is my poo always pointed at one end?ā, he replied āIt is to stop the cheeks of your arse coming together with a bangā .
Probably says more about me than either of them, but it has always caused me great amusement when it has been prompted to mind.
Last time I had a post edited by one of the team @Lily it was because I had misspelled the title - the usual dyslexic fingers problem 
itās gone from General to Animalsā¦ 
Ah - that makes sense!
Sorry for maligning your spelling, Lily!
Thanks Stella duh emoji no problem Angela 
The reason I asked because recently I have been forgettingtohitthespacebar 
I blame the space bar! Happens to me too 
I have no problem at all hitting the space bar, trouble is about 50% of the time I hit the B, N, and M at the same time. 
Its just trivia that happens to be about animals, I would leave it in general. Next bit might be about , for example, astronautsā¦
The word āastronautā comes from the Greek words āastron nautesā, which means āstar sailor.ā
I never did nuffinkā¦ just explained what I reckoned the change wasā¦
Another animal trivia to raise a smile (hopefully)
Brilliant, Iād read something in the Guardian but not seen a video - so cute!!
