Ravens, crows. Crows, ravens. Ok, which one is smarter? How come ravens get all the press, all the myths, all the attention, while their smaller cousins, C. brachyrhynchos get all the scorn? How come, eh?

If you were to ask a representative from each of these species those questions, if you were to ask the smartest, the brightest individual of each of these species those questions, the crow would say, "Caw?" and the raven would say, "Quork?"

And that would be the end of it.
