In Japan, they drop hard nuts onto the road so they are run over and opened
that in it's self is clever, however they make sure that they drop the nuts on a zebra crossing, so that the traffic has to stop and they can retrieve the nuts safely...

They did an experiment whereby the provided a long stick and a short stick.
then placed a nut at varying lengths. The crows worked out they could hook the nut with the short stick when the nut was at a shallow depth, and the long stick when it was at an intermediate depth. Clever.

When the scientists put it at a greater depth, the crow looked at it, hooked the short stick to the long stick and used the subsequent extra long stick to hook the nut out.

At that point, the research groups trousers exploded.
