The Hawaiian crow has been revealed as a skilled tool user, confirmed by testing the last members of this endangered species that survive in captivity. The finding suggests its behavior is tantalizingly similar to that of the famous tool-using New Caledonian crow and has implications for the evolution of tool use and intelligence in birds.
夏威夷乌鸦已被证明是熟练的工具使用者,这一结论是通过对该濒危物种仅存的圈养个体进行测试得出的。这一发现表明,其行为与著名的会使用工具的新喀里多尼亚乌鸦极为相似,对鸟类工具使用和智力的进化具有启示意义。
