Crocodiles shown to balance twigs on snouts to trap birds. First tool use in reptiles

As the article says, they have seen crocodiles balancing twigs on their snouts to fool birds into collecting them for nest building:
Cool stuff.
As the article says, they have seen crocodiles balancing twigs on their snouts to fool birds into collecting them for nest building:
Now we know that crocodilians have a weird communication system composed of chemical signals, various calls, infrasound vibrations too low for us to hear, and body language. They can take care of their babies for more than a year, feeding them, protecting them, even putting them together in crèches – like daycare centers protected in turn by many parents. They can disperse seeds of rainforest trees. They can bond with certain people and play with them. They can use little sticks to lure egrets looking for nesting material. And they can hunt in teams, each animal playing the role best suited for its size and agility; for example, large adult alligators can drive fish into shallows where small, agile youngsters lie in ambush.
People tend to think the reptile brain is one of the simplest in nature and not capable of advanced intelligence, but that would be wrong. Crocs are cool animals, definitely capable of some complex thought, like planning. I live in the most croc-infested part of the world, and it's common knowedge that you don't constantly camp in the same spots or fish at the same times and places in their territory. They will silently study your routine, learn your habits, and formulate a future plan of attack whilst you think they're just lying there.Cool stuff.
Back off, Warchild.
Seriously.
