Tool making Crow in Science
Ever wonder what it takes to get an article in Science Magazine? Apparently all you have to do is video a really smart crow!

This is pretty cool. Why havent I heard more about this?
Where I live we are inundated with crows, they fly by here every evening in huge flocks. So now I find out they can make tools? Perhaps they can pick a lock? Should I be worried? This article is from 7 years ago, I bet they are making tiny crow bow and arrows by now.
Original Article in 2002.

Just some fun to lighten your days. Are there other examples of non-primates making tools? How about posting them as a comment!
