lizardking90: A Larva’s-Eye View of Tool Use New Caledonian crows use stick tools for ‘fishing’ wood-boring beetle larvae from their burrows in decaying tree trunks. They tease the larvae by repeatedly poking them with a tool, encouraging them to defend themselves and bite the tool-tip with their powerful mandibles. Once firmly attached to the tool, the crows carefully withdraw the larvae from their deadwood fortresses. Jolyon Troscianko, University of Birmingham

Claire Morgan: About Time

One of our personal favourites of recent years.

A short documentary portrait of Claire Morgan, a contemporary fine artist and sculptor using taxidermy and suspended natural objects to creating arresting pieces of modern sculpture.

The documentary was commissioned specifically for The National Centre for Craft & Design’s exhibition “About Time - Sculpture by Claire Morgan” (21/05/2011 - 04/09/2011).
