"Dolphins learn how to use tools to hunt for fish from their mothers
From spears and the invention of the wheel to smartphones and robots, human societies have been building and using tools from the beginning. Human tool use has served to conquer new environments, increase communication, and ultimately alter the course of human evolution.
But humans are not alone in the use of tools. Our new study, published in the journal of *Marine Mammal Science*, shows dolphins can use seashells to help them hunt for fish. And they might be learning this clever tool use from their mothers.
Tool use in the animal kingdom is more widespread than you might think."

Tool-using (non-avian) dinosaurs 🦖.
I could probably just leave at that, but it's actually a debated topic. There is some potential for that on some troodontids, but finding real evidence is a challenge. -
