A spontaneous use of excavating tools observed in a group of chimpanzees
An article published in the journal “PLOS ONE” reports the observation of the spontaneous use of tools to dig food buried in the ground in the zoo by a group of chimpanzees on the island where there’s the Kristiansand Zoo, in Norway. A team of researchers led by Adriana Hernandez-Aguilar of the University of Oslo observed the kind of actions taken by chimpanzees that never had the chance to observe them.
