Smart as a Crow
This story
about bird intelligence is pretty amazing. Crows in Japan and
California have learned a very clever way to crack nuts: they put them in
front
cars to be run over. However, just putting them in the road and waiting for
a car presents a dangerous task in retrieval. So, the
crows actually learned to put them in front of cars at a red light. When
the cars have stopped, they put the nuts in the road and then fly off and
wait for the cars to move again, running over the nuts and cracking them
open. If the nuts didn't get run over, the crows put them in a
different spot in the road. Is that not amazing? I known people with
college degrees less clever than these crows.
