Crows and Tool Use

New Caledonian crows manufacture and use tools with sophistication rivaling early humans. They craft hooked tools from branches, use multiple tools in sequence to solve problems, and even make tools to create other tools - meta-tool use. Crows can solve eight-step puzzles, understand water displacement (Aesop's fable style), and pass tool-making knowledge culturally across generations.

💡 Did you know?

Crows can recognize individual human faces and hold grudges - they'll remember someone who wronged them for years and tell other crows!
