Recent
research has found some crow species capable not only of tool use but
of tool construction as well. Crows are now considered to be among the
world's most intelligent animals. The Jackdaw and the European Magpie
have been found to have a nidopallium approximately the same relative
size as the functionally equivalent neocortex in chimpanzees and humans,
and significantly larger than is found in the gibbon.
