Caution: Ingenious Animals at Work URL: http://www.csmonitor.com/2005/0419/p18s02-hfks.html Description: This 2005 article discusses how "we used to think that humans were the only tool-users. But now chimps, crows -- even dolphins -- have been spotted using them." Describes chimpanzees "clean[ing] themselves with wads of leaves, or us[ing] them like a sponge to soak up water for drinking," green herons using bait while fishing, dolphins carrying sponges to protect their beaks, and more.
