About a decade ago, a baker in a small mountainous village in southern Austria noticed his cow doing something unusual. When Veronika had an itch, she would grab a stick in her mouth and use it to scratch her body. Over the years, the brown bovid’s technique improved. She could pick up objects as large as a broom or rake and move them around with her prehensile tongue, changing their length and orientation to ensure the best possible scratch.
The behavior isn’t just a clever trick: It’s the first documented case of tool use in cattle, scientists report.
And, it turns out, one of Veronika’s skills has only been seen in humans and chimpanzees. Learn more: https://t.co/iVyXt180Oh

@ElectrekCo@Segway released the App for their earlier eDirt bike incomplete and unfinished...and then just completely abandoned it. Anyone considering a new product from them should assume the same thing will happen again.
