What do forks, spoons, knives, nutcrackers, hooks, and arrows all have in common? They are tools humans use to acquire various sources of food (energy). What other organisms have developed tool-using capabilities? Check out the footage below that depicts the ingeniousness of a crow.
It looks like the crow is poking around to see if there are any larvae inside and then fishing them out. It does seem that there are lots of stories associated with smart crows, like the story of the crow and the water jug. Aren't great apes known to use tools to get termites and such?
