Crows use cars to break open nuts they would otherwise not be able to eat; eagles drop turtles to break their shell.

When orkas kill sharks, they only eat the liver of the shark and leave the rest alone. Wild civets also choose only the best coffee berries, which is part of why we make coffee from their poop.
