Number 10: Dolphins.
In 2012, an Indian Minster said that Dolphins should be treated as non-human people, and scientists have long understood how intelligent these creatures really are, so, perhaps it’s not surprising that they’ve recently been observed using tools. Say…what? Well, in Shark Bay, Australia, a scientist was lucky enough to observe how a group of bottlenose dolphins have learned to carry marine sponges in their beaks to stir ocean-bottom sand to uncover pray. This cool technique has made this group more successful at hunting food on the bottom of the ocean. Not only that, but it also protects their noises. Although this is just one group of dolphins, they’re ability to do this is yet another testament to their intelligence, though it should be pointed out that it seems to be a relatively new invention. And what’s to say there’s not other groups of dolphins using other sea-based tools for hunting reasons? In fact, as highlighted in a previous video, some scientists have stated that this group spend more time hunting with tools that any other non-human animal – but as we’ll see moment, there is another contender who others think are slightly ahead of dolphins in using tools.
Number 9: Chimpanzees.
These intelligent creatures made headlines last year when footage emerged showing that the clever primates habitually make special water-dipping sticks - chewing the end of the stick to turn it into a soft, water-absorbing brush. These sticks were examined by primate researchers and they concluded they were made specifically for drinking. Apparently, using similar brush-tipped sticks to dip into bees' nests for honey was common in chimpanzee populations across Africa. This particular population of chimpanzees has what the researchers call a "drinking culture", which they class as a custom shared throughout a group of making these special water-dipping sticks to help them through the dry season. But this isn’t the only group of Chimpanzees to be observed using tools. Decades earlier, in 1960 a chimp was observed using a twig to reach one the chimp’s favorite foods – termites. He did this by picking up a twig and stripping the leaves off it. Then he stuck the twig into one of the holes in the termite mound, left it there for a moment, and slowly pulled it out. So, he was effectively fishing for termites. It’s quite clear these intelligent animals have found ways to use tools to overcome difficult situations, yet, like other species on this list who are at serious risk of extinction due to human action, they’re tool use won’t save them from habitat loss or bulldozers!
Number 8: Crows.

Crows have long symbolized thead because they are carrion birds, or…birds that feed on animals. However, our view and understanding of the Crow might just change as the result of recent observations of a group of captive crows. Ivo Jacobs of Lund University in Sweden and his team were fortunate to observe some interesting behavior in the crows. They saw how one crow slipped a wooden stick into a metal nut and flew off with both objects. Later, they observed another crow insert a thick stick into a hole in a large in a large wooden ball to move the items of the room. As well as these examples, they also observed four other instances of the crows’ clever little tricks. In fact, the ability to use objects to transport both items at once is something that had never been seen in non-human animals. Yet this ingenious feat is not that surprising, as we already knew crows could use tool, but this particular trick is often seen as a hallmark of complex cognitive abilities suggesting they might be a little bit more intelligent that we first though. At the end of the day, this is definitely interesting, but a lot more research needs to be completed to see whether the birds also use tools this way in the wild.
