Another instance of tool use is washing and rubbing foods such as papaya leaves before consumption. They either soak these foods in water or rub them through their hands as if to clean them. Adolescents appear to acquire these behaviors by observational learni...

Thank you for all your feedback with regard to Inuka, the polar bear at the Singapore Zoo. Since 2006, we have been working with the Singapore Zoo to address welfare concerns and the zoo has decided to phase out the keeping of polar bears.
