Blue jays that use a piece of paper like a broom to sweep their food to within reach of their busy bills... Archer fish that shoot water from their mouths like a pistol to bring down a tasty insect meal... Elephants that break off a branch of a tree to use as a back-scratcher...
A fascinating look into the laboratory and the wilderness at a whole new area of scientific inquiry, to observe animal tool use and even simple tool making, a skill once thought to belong only to human beings. Lavishly illustrated with photographs and drawings.
