Hi Thurstan, I assume these scats are about 2 cm wide?

Great thanks. Wombats mostly have cubic poos at least 2 x 2 x 2 cm and they often use them as markers on slightly elevated positions like the root in your picture. The largest kangaroo poos get up to that size but only odd ones are as cubic in shape as those.
