Animals use many objects as tools to achieve goals more easily. Such goals include grooming, finding food, and protecting themselves. For a long time, people thought tool use was unique to primates. Boxer crabs and other animals, though, have busted the myth that tool use is limited to certain primates. Inventively, boxer crabs use stinging anemones to defend against attack. Striated herons also get creative. They use breadcrumbs and other lures to attract fish to the water's surface, making it easier for the herons to catch them.
