Crows Only Known Animals Other Than Humans That Can Differentiate Between Geometric Shapes

Crows are widely known to be one of the most intelligent animals on the planet, along with elephants, chimpanzees, orangutans and dolphins. A new study has revealed that at least one crow species can recognize regularity in geometric shapes — the ability to pick out a shape that differs from others — a skill previously only observed in humans. Three animal physiologists from Germany’s University of Tübingen tested two male carrion crows, aged 10…

New research reveals surprising mathematical intuition in crows

Scientists discover that crows can recognize geometric regularity—a skill once thought to be uniquely human—changing our understanding of animal intelligence.

One already knew that crows were among the most intelligent birds of the animal kingdom. But this time, they have just pushed the limits: black crows have in fact managed to distinguish irregular geometric shapes in a complex test, a cognitive ability that was previously believed to be reserved for humans. And the [...]

Hooded crows are among the smartest birds out there. However, during a certain period of the year, their behavior may change, become more aggressive and end in attacks on people. This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to the press service of the Ukrainian Society for the Conservation of Birds. What is special about gray crows Gray crows (Corvus corone) are extremely intelligent birds. They are special in that they are capable of comple…
