Question

Can animals be taught to use tools?

Answer 1

Yes, animals can be taught to use tools. Some primates, birds, and even marine mammals have been observed using tools in the wild and have been successfully trained to use tools in captivity through positive reinforcement and training techniques. This ability to learn tool use demonstrates the cognitive abilities and problem-solving skills of various animal species.

Answer 2

Yes, animals can be taught to use tools. Some examples include chimpanzees using sticks to extract termites from mounds, sea otters using rocks to crack open shells, and crows using sticks to access hard-to-reach food sources.
