Forest ServicesQ14. Which one of the following makes a tool with a stick to scrap insects from a hole in a tree or a log of wood? (a) Fishing cat (b) Orangutan (c) Otter (d) Sloth bear
Detailed Solution
Orangutans are known for their intelligence and sophisticated tool-use behaviors. They have been observed using sticks and other natural objects as tools for various purposes, including extracting insects from tree holes, probing for food, or even as backscratchers.
This demonstrates their cognitive abilities and adaptability in their natural habitat. Fishing cats are known for their fishing skills but not typically for using sticks as tools. Otters use stones to crack open shellfish.
Sloth bears are primarily insectivorous, using their long claws and snout to dig for termites and ants, but are not known for using sticks as tools in this manner.
