/ "We report here our experimental \
| demonstration of flexible egocentric |
| tooling in a pet cow (Bos taurus), |
| Veronika, who uses a deck brush to self- |
| scratch. Across randomized trials, she |
| preferred the bristled end but switched |
| to the stick end when targeting softer |
| lower-body areas. This adaptive |
| deployment of tool features reveals |
| multi-purpose tool use not previously |
\ reported in non-primate mammals." /
