Default Monkey becomes master nut-breaker!!

An enjoyable short film to watch of a Rhesus monkey inventing a way to open coconuts! It reminded me of I believe Crows/Rooks and Gulls that drop molluscs from a height to break them open.

BBC - Earth News - Monkey becomes master nut-breaker

Very clever and 10/10 for perseverence.......I thought it was going to land on it's head at one stage.....I wonder how long it'll take the rest of the troop to copy nut breaking his actions?
An interesting link Judith thanks!
