Humans aren't the only ones that use tools!

Hungry chimps have quite a trick:
catching termites with a stick.
Chimpanzees insert sticks, straw, or long blades of grass into termite mounds. The termites cling to the inserted object. Then the chimpanzee pulls the insects out of the mound and enjoys a tasty termite meal!
