About

Una de las aves más inteligentes conocidas, el cuervo común (Corvus corax) demuestra capacidades de resolución de problemas que rivalizan con las de los grandes simios, incluyendo el uso de herramientas, la planificación y el comportamiento engañoso. Presente en todo el Hemisferio Norte, desde la tundra ártica hasta los desiertos, el cuervo es un omnívoro muy adaptable. Forma jerarquías sociales complejas, participa en forrajeo cooperativo y ha sido observado jugando. Su inteligencia y plumaje negro lo han convertido en figura mitológica en muchas culturas.
