    Scientists tell us that some birds are clever. The birds use tools to get food. In one study, scientists observed crows. The scientists wanted to see if the crows could solve a simple problem. The problem was
    how to get some food out of a container. Inside the container, the food floated on the surface of some water. But the birds couldn’t put their heads inside the container to get the food. The container was too narrow. The scientists put some different heavy objects near the container. The birds took the objects and put them into the water. As a result, the level of the water rose inside the container and the birds took the food. In Japan, crows have found a clever way to open nuts. The birds take the nuts from a tree.

    Reptiles have been around for millions of years and once were the most common vertebrate animals on Earth. Today, reptiles are divided into four main groups:
    turtles and tortoises; lizards and snakes; crocodiles and alligators; and the tuatara. A tuatara looks like a lizard, but it isn’t. It’s a species left over from a group of reptiles as old as dinosaurs. It is the closest thing to a living dinosaur. Tuataras live only in New Zealand and are in danger of becoming extinct. Some reptiles spend most of their time in water. But most species live on land. All have scaly skin to protect them. Reptiles are found in all habitats except polar places in the Arctic and the tundra. Reptiles usually lay their eggs in nests or holes dug in the ground. But some snakes, like rattlesnakes, let the eggs hatch inside the body and give birth to live babies. Female crocodiles are very good mothers. They guard the nest and even help the hatchlings get a start, in life. Some snakes do this, too. But most reptiles lay their eggs and leave. The hatchlings, which are perfect miniature copies of their
    parents, are on their own.

    A woodpecker is a kind of bird. Woodpeckers are found all over the world except in the North and South poles, Australia, and New Zealand. There are over 200 different kinds of woodpeckers. The two largest woodpeckers, the Imperial Woodpecker and the Ivory-billed Woodpecker are most likely extinct. Animals that become extinct are no longer found on Earth. Woodpeckers have sharp bills for drilling into wood, and short tails which help to balance them on tree trunks and branches. Woodpeckers also have very long tongues, which help them get insects deep within trees. Woodpeckers are often heard knocking loudly on trees before they are seen. Woodpeckers can even become trouble if they learn to knock on sides of a house. Woodpeckers can easily be attracted to backyard bird feeders with sunflower seeds or suet.
