This eagle uses rocks as tools to crack open giant emu eggs.
The Wedge-tailed Eagle, Australia’s largest bird of prey, has been observed dropping or throwing rocks at tough Emu eggs when its talons alone aren’t enough. A single emu egg can be the size of several chicken eggs combined, making it a valuable meal.
A clever hunter of the outback, yet proof that tool use isn’t just for humans.
