Inventive Orangutans Make Hook Tools to Retrieve Food


About 20 years ago I saw a film of Crows doing this. The birds in some central american country were also filmed putting hard nuts in the street for cars to drive over and then retrieving the inner nut after cars drove over them and cracked them open.
