Orangutan using medicinal plants

#1

Post by Chich »

That pedestal we created for ourselves is getting smaller and smaller. "We are the only animal to use tools! Oh, what are those chimps and crows doing? Ok ,we're the only ones that use fire... a bird does what??? OK only ones that have a sense of 'fashion'. A Chimp you say? accessorizing? Well how about art? Elephants?" Math? lions count attackers and do the odds? etc, etc. Easy to be the hero when you are writing the book :P

Of course for this latest topic, I could point to my dog. He uses grass to treat an upset stomach.

I read an article this morning about this. It's pretty interesting.
