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.

muslims use knives to cut off people’s heads. Somalians used hammers to beat people in MN with. Seabirds drop oysters on rocks to crack them open. Animals have been using tools for centuries/p>
