I am absolutely loving the rightful fuss over Veronika the cow and her ability to use a tool!
She picks up and uses the brush end of the broom for scratching some of her back and then switches to using the other end for a more gentle scratch like her belly and udder. So smart!
I still think human’s are the least intelligent sometimes. It’s shortsighted to think we have already found all the potential species that could have capacity to, and/or already do, use tools. There will definitely be others we haven’t documented yet.
Veronika, keep being you. You’re rocking at life!
