For the first time a wild fish, the Blackspot Tuskfish has been photographed by a diver using a tool. Scientists predict that before long we will be cowering before those damn dirty Cod. Probably not, but check out the photo gallery of this tool using fish at the link.
Fortunately, Mr Gardner managed to photograph this happening as there has never before been any evidence to prove tool use in fish. Behavioural ecologist Culum Brown, of Macquarie University in Sydney, told Science Now: 'The pictures provide fantastic proof of these intelligent fish at work using tools to access prey that they would otherwise miss out on.
