The crow is also the only animal on earth (besides us, obviously) that has been observed MAKING tools to acquire food. Although a monkey and others have long been known to use a box,etc. as a stepladder to grab the out-of-reach banana, that doesn't actually qualify as 'making' a tool, but using it.

Recent studies and observations of crows astounded ornithologists when, after being given a wire to use to acquire food in a bottle, the crow repeatedly bent the wire into a shape that allowed it to 'noodle' the piece of food out of the bottle. Without doing this, the crow was unable to acquire the food.

I don't think Arafat is this intelligent.

Arafat is definitely not a crow, but his nose is large enough to make him look like one.
