The toolmaking behavior of New Caledonian crows. A captive female crow, confronted with a task that required a curved tool (retrieving a food-containing bucket from a vertical pipe), spontaneously bends a piece of straight wire into a hooked shape. It repeated the behavior in nine out of ten subsequent trials. (Science Magazine 9 August 2002)
