The Amazing Story Behind the World's First Tool-Using Cow | Antonio Osuna-Mascaro

Antonio Osuna-Mascaró is a researcher at the University of Veterinary Medicine Vienna who studies how animals think and solve problems. He has worked closely with Goffin’s cockatoo, studying how they make and use tools to solve specific tasks, as well as their social intelligence and cognitive abilities. He also documented what may be the first recorded case of a cow using a tool, raising new questions about animal intelligence.
