Fish catch prey in clever ways

Sydney researchers report that tool use among fish is more common than previously thought. Tool use is inherently difficult underwater especially for animals that lack hands but the researchers say that fish have found many ingenious solutions to allow them to overcome this. Many species of wrasse, for example, use anvils to smash open shell fish and other difficult to handle prey.
