This YouTube video features an amazing animal. It’s one of the most recognizable birds, the crow. You can find these black birds almost anywhere you go. And they may not seem remarkable at first.

But the crow is actually very smart. Some species rank among the smartest birds in the world. And this video certainly backs that up.

These Japanese crows had a problem with their food source. They wanted to eat some very hard nuts. But the shells could not be broken with their beaks alone. Their solution is ingenious. I’m not sure I could have come up with it.
