Archerfish target shoot with 'skillfully thrown' water http://ow.ly/B9hCq Archerfish hunt by shooting jets of water at unsuspecting insects, spiders, or even small lizards on leaves or twigs above, knocking them into the water below before gobbling them up. In a Current Biology study, researchers find that the fish really do use water as a tool, making them the first known tool-using animal to adaptively change the hydrodynamic properties of a free jet of water. http://ow.ly/B9hCq

A bird-pollinated flower with a rather ingenious twist http://ow.ly/BfiQl When researchers studying several bird-pollinated species of Impatiens flowers in the mountains of western Cameroon noticed one with an odd, upwardly curving nectar spur, they couldn't imagine how any sunbird could ever sip from it. After recording visitors to the flower continuously for a period of days, researchers reporting in Current Biology found that when sunbirds insert their beaks into those funny-shaped spurs, the flowers do a little twist http://ow.ly/BfiQl
