@pgodfreysmith After Jane Goodall's original definition which was much more focussed on intention, the definition was hijacked by primatoligists. There are so many physics restrictions using tools underwater that the approach fish use is likely the best solution.
Did you know that fish also use tools?
The research led by Juliette Tariel-Adam, titled “Fish Tool Use by New World Halichoeres Wrasses” expands scientific knowledge about this fascinating behavior of wrasses from the Halichoeres genus.
