Common Raven
Corvus corax
The adult common raven is a large, glossy black corvid found across much of the Northern Hemisphere in mountains, forests, tundra, deserts, coasts, farms, and cities. It is an agile flier that soars, tumbles, dive-bombs threats, and uses a powerful bill to tear food apart. Its omnivorous diet includes carrion, small animals, eggs, insects, grains, fruit, and food cached for later. Ravens are famous for advanced intelligence, including tool use, social learning, and remembering individual humans.
