Genius Crow: learning and culture

Learning and culture are something we often only associate with human. If we only observe a bit more, many other mammals also exibit these traits. On top of that, scientists have even documented such behavior in crows.

Through observations, crows have learned to acquire new skills. These new skills are only found in a small community of crows in Tokyo; hence defining a distinct culture within that community. Crows in Japan learned and shared how to utilize traffic patterns to crack nuts and ensure their safety from being run over. Crow in this video figure out a particular skill set to get food through logical reasoning.

Other example of mammal learning and culture includes: Dogs in Moscow learned how to use the subways to find food. A small community of dolphins learned how to clouded water to trap fishes.
