A team of scientists has recently released the first known video of pigs using tools.
The ecologist behind the video, Meredith Root-Bernstein, told National Geographic she was watching a family of Visayan warty pigs at a zoo in Paris when she noticed one the animals picking up a piece of bark in its mouth and using the wood to dig around in the soil.
“I said, ‘Whoa, that’s pretty cool,’” she recalled to National Geographic. “When I looked up tool use in pigs, there was nothing.”
