I also wonder whether they can work in teams. For that matter I wonder if chimpanzees and crows (the other "tool users" mentioned in the article) work in teams.

- Adlai 17y agoChimps are very social animals. Ironically, one of their great cooperative activities is similar to that of humans: namely, killing eachother. From what I've learned about evolution, and "selfish gene" theory, it seems as though cooperation pervades social animal societies. According to this page [1], and the Wikipedia article on rooks, they seems to flock together. I wouldn't be surprised if further study reveals some cooperative behaviour.
