Scientists investigating video of a cow using tools, and later conducting some basic psychology experiments on said cow, say their findings could expand the list of animals capable of tool use.



While I think it’s a nice thought, I still find the idea that humans are the ONLY “storytellers” to be falling into the same trap as tool use. Just because we haven’t witnessed or recorded it doesn’t mean that other species don’t tell “stories”.
Heck, even crows learn faces and then tell other crows about those faces. If that’s not some form of “storytelling” idk what is.
my cat will throw her toys in the air to chase them herself. That’s make believe in a form.
