Crows Have Human-Like Intelligence

Ravens are the only (non-human) animal to purposely taunt me, confuse me, and then laugh at me. Spending a summer on top of Mount Mansfield in Vermont put me in close contact with a flock and my experiences validated what I read in University of Vermont zoologist Bernd Heinrich’s book Mind of the Raven. Now Candace Savage has documented similar behavior in Ravens’ corvid cousins the crow. Check out Crows Have Human-Like Intelligence, Author Says from National Geographic News. (via Sploid)
