The maca
24、ques use stones that they choose carefully to hammer the shells of shellfish, such as oysters, sea snails and crabs.

25、es, whereas the monkeys on the other island threw their stones away after using them once.

26、 on stones meant that they could tell which stones had been used as tools.
