Or maybe.. <ponder>.. a Gnu?  Shocking, isn't it!?

There's a species (probably multiple, but there's one specific one that
I'm thinking of) of spider that has proven to have critical thinking
skills. A piece of food of some sort is placed on a small island and
surrounded with some water that the spider will not cross, and a small
tool (probably smaller than a toothpick, but I'm not entirely sure what..
I read about this quite a long time ago..) and the spider was able to
figure out how to use this tool in order to retrieve the piece of food.
Perhaps we should try to get some arachnid genes in with the Bonobo genes.
Could prove interesting looking. =)
