An Asian elephant named Mary, living at the Berlin Zoo, surprised researchers by learning how to use a hose to shower herself.
Mary holds the hose with her trunk and sprays herself with water, using different grip positions depending on which body part she's showering.
This behavior reminds scientists of how some crows use tools, even modifying them to fit their needs.
Mary's showering skills might be linked to elephants' natural ability to use their trunks to spray water and mud on their bodies.
