Their picking up body language clues from humans in that experiment reminded me of reports of people observing ravens cooperating with wolves in their search for food. If the ravens find a carcass of a large animal, they might not be able to rip open the hide to feed on it, but they know wolves can do this so they'll find a wolf and signal to it and lead it to the carcass.
