Large intelligent corvids
Common ravens are large, entirely black birds of the crow family, found across the Northern Hemisphere.
They're among the most intelligent birds, known for problem-solving, tool use, and complex social behavior.
Ravens figure prominently in mythology and folklore—associated with death, prophecy, and trickery.
They're distinguished from crows by larger size, heavier bills, and wedge-shaped tails in flight.
