New paper on precise tool use learning in carrion crows @currentbiology.bsky.social. We show that—like New Caledonian crows—expert carrion crows pay close attention to the working end of their tool, suggesting tool integration into their peripersonal space. 🧵 & vids! 👇

Ever wondered whether other animals are curious?

Check out our new paper:

Do goldfish like to be informed?

Now out in Proceedings of the @royalsociety.org!

Curiosity is a feature we share with several animals - but new research shows goldfish aren't curious

This suggests curiosity isn't just a consequence of basic learning mechanisms & is instead a distinct trait 👇
