A pet #cow named Veronika can scratch her own back with a broom — the first scientifically documented case of #tooluse in #cows, researchers say.
This tool-using cow defies expectations for #bovine braininess

I'm always mildly surprised when scientists are suddenly suprised that animals other than humans and great apes could be intelligent. https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/jan/19/back-scratching-cow-veronika-bovine-intelligence
The scientific article in @CurrentBiology https://www.cell.com/current-biology/fulltext/S0960-9822(25)01597-0
I recommend Frans de Waals book "Are We Smart Enough to Know How Smart Animals Are?" His lecture: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O4kpSGRm7E

easy to overlook a big advantage of mastodon over other platforms: you can very easily use the name for puns. Posting about going to the red planet? Marstodon. Excited about noodle dishes? Pastadon. Trumpet enthusiast? Hashtag Brasstodon.
