    I don't know how much training the crow had, but it solved it pretty fast.

    I think this is hotballa's way of answering "no" to the OP's question.

    What does it have to do with biscuits? Are you hungry or something?

    ive seen these types of things where chimps were figuring out puzzles that 4-5 yr olds couldnt figure out.. niether with training.. like a ball that was out of reach for the kids in a tube, and a piece of food for the chimps. something where there was a like a tube with a ball and a pitcher of water and the kids just kept trying to stick their hands down the tube until they gave up but the chimps poured the water into the tube to make the object rise..

    Not as impressed by that as other puzzles that chimps and octopus have solved. I also think squirrels can do similar puzzles,,,of course not ones that require a grasping things. Animals with opposable thumbs or beaks have an unfair advantage over squirrels.

    This appears more like the crow is already trained for 3 months at various combinations of each stage (doesn't the video state this?) as s/he puts them together in longer and longer series.

    Pretty sure the octopus puzzles I've seen were not prompted by earlier training, like unscrewing a jar of food. Damn octupus figured out to unscrew a jar???

    that's what i think as well. the crow has been doing various stages of this problem for 3 months, so it wasn't like he was unfamiliar with it. still impressive, but not mind-blowingly smart.
