Crows vs Ravens

Postby Defaulter » Thu Feb 23, 2012 3:23 pm

Well......

Help me settle a dispute! my legions of terror go forth and vote! :O

And post explaining your preferance :D

Sum facts:

- Crows average around 17 inches long, and ravens about 24-27. (*le giggle*)

- Crows have a wing span around 2.5 ft., and ravens about 3.5-4 ft.

- Ravens have pointed wings, while crows have a more blunt and splayed wing tip.

- Ravens have pointed wings, while crows have a more blunt and splayed wing tip.

- Crows are more at home in the urban landscape, given their ability to be more socially inclined than ravens

- Crows are more at home in the urban landscape, given their ability to be more socially inclined than ravens

- Crows are more at home in the urban landscape, given their ability to be more socially inclined than ravens

- Ravens at times will fly wing-to-wing with their mate, with the females just below the males.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

- ravens seldomly attack crows because crows can outmaneuver and outclimb them. However, Kilham observed the opposite to be true at the New Hampshire farm study site, where the ravens outmaneuvered the crows in the forest and well as in the open.

--------------------------

DEM CLEVER RAVENS

- After his four winters of observation and eperimentation, he learned that the raven's (unmated juveniles) possibly "recruit" others to a food source because, by sharing with others it gains "friends," from which it may gain a mate from in the future due to its foraging abilities. While mated pairs are more-or-less anchored to their localized nesting area; low status juveniles are left to form wondering unmated "gangs." Thus, mated pairs would not benifit from "recruiting" others to a food source, and likewise, juveniles are careful not to tip-off dominant mated adults.

The Raven is bigger and stronger, and also more intelligent. It is like comparing a dumb squirrel to something awesome like a weasel or mink.

We are here because the Universe offers conditions so life can evolve,to the point where(at least one)species,in a small planet around a star lost between millions of galaxies,is able to ask itself:What was my origin? (M. Gleiser)

It's better to walk in the dark with a friend than it is to walk alone in the light.
