I had a large woods rat using a stick to spring my rat traps. The stick trick did not work in the electronic rat trap though. He was almost too big to fit in the trap and hung 1/3 of his body out. The stick he used that last time was one of those wire twist ties.

Whenever I hear "authorities" speak about how animals think (or don't think) I wonder if these "authorities" actually realize just how stupid they sound.

How can anyone know what goes on in the mind of another being or creature? Unless perhaps that creature is a teenage boy with a Playboy magazine (that helps narrow it down a bit).

Tried to get a pig to change a flat once, but he just went wee-wee-wee all the way home.

pffft- i thought everyone knew pigs used tools? I put a pig in our garden with a rototiller, and came back several hours later, and the garden was all rototilled-

Animals aren’t nearly as dumb as humans want to believe.

About 3 years ago I watched several baby squirrels pull pieces of bark from a tree and then play catch with them between themselves. The used the bark like any kid playing with a ball. This was the first time I ever say baby critters play with homemade toys.

In the 60's this pig was reading a book on the history of the Ziffel family!

Octopi use tools. Some birds make and use tools. A northern Australian hawk deliberately carries bits of burning material in its beak to spread dry season brush fires because the flames will send its prey scurrying before the flames. It's the only animal apart from man that uses fire 'creatively.'

Lots of animals probably used tools before man did, we just never spent enough time watching them to notice.
