Nieuws | NOS (@NOSRSS@mastodon.online) Koe Veronika kan voorwerpen gebruiken als gereedschap Een Oostenrijkse koe doet wetenschappers versteld staan. Koe Veronika gebruikt stokken, harken en bezems om zich te krabben op plaatsen waar ze anders niet bij kan. In de duizenden jaren dat mensen met runderen samenleven, is nooit eerder vastgesteld dat dit dier een voorwerp bewust als gereedschap gebruikt. https://nos.nl/l/2599019 #nieuws #nos

Runderen die in de winter gereedschap beginnen te gebruiken... ren voor je leven!
