Yes this means I'm a geek but this is one of the coolest things I've ever seen!


Not only do they use rocks as a hammer and anvil, by peeling and leaving the nuts to soften they're also doing a primitive form of cooking!

Suck on that creationists!
 
Watch your foot there buddy.....

Animals are smarter than we give them credit for.

Have you seen an aphid farm run by ants?



or drug using spiders?

With the greatest of respect, gramage. Those monkeys are Little Hairy Buggers and should be made into soup.
 
A first for New World monkeys, but Chimps and Gorillas have been documented using tools in the wild for a while. It's still amazing to see.
