Cow Documented Using Tools For First Time, Stunning Scientists

[Narrator] If Veronica used the tool to scratch herself,

she will use the broom end

and she will use it to reach parts of her body

that were otherwise out of reach.

And this is exactly what she did.

This might even qualify

as the use of a multiple-purpose tool,

something extremely rare in nature,

so much that there is only solid evidence of it

in chimpanzees.
