When I was organizing my supplies indoors, I heard a clicking noise coming from the vent.

I thought the staff were checking the ventilation openings, but I had no idea, so I went to check on them in front of the glass, and a Hirotake mushroom appeared with an aluminum lid in its mouth.

"Ah! Hirotake! I did it!"

I was wandering around looking around for some reason, so I thought I should do something. That's what I was thinking...but as expected, it did the job.

It looks like he's stretched out his arms and found a new toy.

Very proudly, he went into the pond and started playing.

In the middle of the video, there is a scene where Hirotake stands up with the lid between its forelimbs.

I'm sure the people watching it felt it too, but don't you think it's expressing that feeling of "Wow!" with your whole body? ! (lol) I get angry when I see something like that, but I can't... (´ー｀)

All I can say is to keep your pranks in moderation.

As a side note, I once heard that ``playing with tools'' is proof of high intelligence.

As I watched Hirotake looking around for something to play with, I wondered if this was really the case.
