Today we're going to dial back from the behemoth birds of the past few weeks, and downsize to a much more commonplace, but nonetheless awesome bird. Today, we are talking about crows. According to PBS, there are about 40 species of crow. These species vary greatly in size, averaging anywhere from 12 to 57 ounces. There are species of crow native to just about every climate and region around the world, from Hawaii to Canada to South Africa to East Asia.
Crows are famous for being among the most intelligent of animals. Research suggests that they remember individual faces, and almost never forget a face. A group of crows, called a murder, will mourn the death of one of its members. Even more impressive, a murder will actually investigate these deaths to find the cause of death. If a predator is found guilty, the entire murder will mob together to chase them away.
