Summary, Etc. For a long time, it was believed that humans were the only animals that use tools. That changed when, more than sixty years ago, chimpanzees were seen using twigs to catch termites. Scientist soon realized that crows, too, were expert tool users. Since then, dolphins, monkeys, birds, bears, octopuses, and may other creatures have been observed finding and sometimes shaping sticks, stones, leaves, and other objects and using them to perform all kinds of tasks. It seems that the more we learn about the animal world, the more we realize how intelligent and adaptable wild creatures can be.
