This bird… can use tools to crack open a giant egg.
In the vast landscapes of Australia, the Wedge-tailed Eagle has been observed using stones to break open emu eggs — dropping or striking them until the thick shell gives way. It hunts mammals and birds, but when it finds an emu nest, it turns to this clever method to access the rich meal inside. What makes it extraordinary is this rare behavior — tool use in a powerful raptor, showing surprising problem-solving ability. A dominant predator of the skies, yet a thinker when faced with a challenge.
