on this subject. I'm looking for any literature on the good use of human trash by animals. I figure there is probably some things out there by marine animals, but I'm looking more for those by terrestrial or freshwater animals, and preferably tetrapods. If
no one can come up with anything that will still be ok. I'm sure its been observed before, just not sure if anything has ever been reported.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
