Even Monkeys Know Which Rock Will Break The Toughest Nut

Discover Magazine

In previous studies scientist have seen that the Kapuchin monkey has the ability to use the tools it can find around it. In a recent study it has been confirmed that the Kapuchin monkey also has the ability to choose its tool to fit the scenario and the monkey will pick the heaviest rock it can find to break nutshells.

I liked this article because I thought it was well written and provided good information. This article surprised me because I had no clue that any other animal had the ability to use tools and these monkeys must be very smart to be able do that. I would like to know what other kinds of tools this animal might be able to use and whether or not any other animals can do this.
