I guess everybody knows this already, but
elephants use tools!
Dr. Theresa was watching a
PBS show about
crows. I was lying there half-listening and reading my
Sun Ra biography. Anyhow, this young biologist on the TV casually drops the fact that
chimpanzees, crows, and elephants are the only animals (besides people, he forgot to say) who use tools. I have mentioned
the fact that crows use tools on this "blog" before. But elephants? What kind of tools do they use? I'm too tired to look it up. Seems like something I should have been informed about before.
