Mankind aren’t the only life forms to use tools you know – even fish who have fins and a streamlined body for underwater living have a tool mindset as some species have been proven to use rocks to help them in everyday life. In fact, a researcher has stepped forward with a video to prove such a thing, having shot some footage in Palau while describing it in the journal Coral Reefs.

This is the first legitimate video of its kind to show off a fish using a tool, where an orange-dotted tuskfish dug a clam out of the sand, carrying it over to a rock and throwing said clam against the rock in order to crush it. Impressive, no, considering how fish only have their tails, fins, and mouth to begin with.

Ah well, I would say that this is just another small discovery in the larger scheme of things – it seems that the more we find out, the more we realize just how little we know about the world around us.
