It was long believed that ravens followed wolves in order to profit from their prey. A new study from Yellowstone National Park once again reveals their amazing memory
Common ravens circle above a pack of wolves in Yellowstone National Park. The birds sense in advance where the predators will prey and are there in time.
Ravens are known for detecting traps, telling people apart and remembering their faces – even years after an encounter. Experiments have shown that they can use tools, solve problems in multiple steps, and even plan ahead. All of this makes ravens the most cognitively efficient animals of all.
