Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, or on youranswer sheet to indicate the correct answer in each of the questions from61 to 70.Many of the most flexible examples of tool use in animals come from primates(the group that includes humans, apes, and monkeys). For example, many wildprimates use objects to threaten outsiders. But there are many examples of tooluse by mammals, as well as by birds and other types of animals.Tools are used by many species in the capture or preparation of food.Chimpanzees use sticks and poles to bring out ants and termites from theirhiding places. Among the most complex tool use observed in the wild is the use ofstones by Ivory Coast chimpanzees to crack nuts open. They select large flatstone as an anvil (a heavy block on which to place the nuts) and smaller stoneas hammer. Stones suitable for use as anvils are not easy to find, and often achimpanzee may carry haul of nuts more than 40 meters to find suitableanvil. The use of tools in chimpanzees is especially interesting because theseanimals sometimes modify tools to make them better suited for their intendedpurpose. To make twig more effective for digging out termites, for example, achimp may first strip it of its leaves.Surprisingly, there is also species of bird that uses sticks to probe holes in thesearch for insects. One of the species of Galapagos finch, the woodpecker finch,picks up or breaks off twig, cactus spine, or leaf stem. This primitive tool is thenheld in the beak and used to probe for insects in holes in trees that the birdcannot probe directly with its beak. Birds have been seen to carry twigs from thetree to tree searching for prey.Tools may also be used for defense. Hermits crabs grab sea anemones with theirclaws and use them as weapons to repel their enemies.
