[White Hat and Cueball are walking together. White Hat has his smartphone out in his hand.
White Hat: Have you seen this video of a crow sledding on a roof?
Cueball: Yeah! It's always cool to see animals using tools
Cueball: Like how sea otters use rocks to open crab shells
Cueball: Hey, did you know the "crab" body plan has evolved multiple times?
Caption: Regardless of the starting topic, any conversation with me eventually converges to carcinzation

Up until the moment I opened the video, I read every instance of "crow" in the comic and explanation as "cow"... Was a bit disappointed by the video! 141.101.105.40 19:39, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
I think the crow in the video is actually a hooded crow (Corvus cornix) rather than a jackdaw... 108.162.245.146 20:39, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
Good catch. 172.68.129.134 20:58, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
I think the crow in the video needs more training. Seems she's not really sure how the sledding works. -- Hkmaly (talk) 01:04, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
Coincidentally, I just heard about a pet/tame duck (called 'Duck') who is regularly bodysurfing with their human in Australia. No idea where crabs come into that. They've probably been eaten by the sharks, or poisoned/envenomated by almost every other creature in and around Australia. 162.158.111.185 04:34, 30 January 2021 (UTC)

Tool use is another trait that has independently evolved multiple times, in insects, cephalopods, fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals, presumably because it’s so useful. 162.158.63.86 06:36, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
Have a read of "Are we smart enough to know how smart animals are?" by Fran de Waal (W.W. Norton)
I too independently evolved into talking about carcinisation constantly. Hm. 162.158.34.28 00:12, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
