This was no prank; it was an experiment run by biologist John Marzluff, who wanted to know whether crows could remember a specific human face. They could, and they held a grudge for years, teaching their neighbors and even their chicks to scold anyone wearing that mask. Crows and ravens are the blackfeathered stars of spooky stories, perched on tombstones and haunted rooftops. But peel back the legend, and you find two of the smartest animals on the planet.  \nThat reputation for spookiness didn't come from nowhere, and it stretches back thousands of years. In Norse mythology, people told a story that the god Odin sent out two ravens named Huginn and Muninn each morning, and they flew across the world and returned to whisper the news into his ears. Because these birds gather where things have died, older cultures often linked them to battlefields and endings, which is how they earned their gloomy, mysterious image. Edgar Allan Poe leaned on that image in his 1845 poem \"The Raven,\" whose gloomy bird repeats a single haunting word. The legend, in other words, was built on real behavior that people noticed and then wove into meaning.  \nThose real behaviors turn out to be even stranger than the myths, especially when it comes to intelligence. Crows and ravens belong to a family of birds called corvids, and their brains are unusually large for their body size. In a famous set of experiments, researchers watched New Caledonian crows bend straight pieces of wire into hooks to fish food out of tubes, something they were never taught. That places them among the very few animals known to make tools, a club that mostly contains humans, chimpanzees, and a handful of others. Some corvids have even solved multi-step puzzles, using one tool to reach a second tool that finally reaches the food.  \nMaking a hook is impressive, but remembering a face for years is what makes these birds feel almost human. That Seattle experiment showed that crows recognize and remember individual people, distinguishing a threatening face from a friendly one. They also seem to communicate about specific dangers, since birds that never saw the mask still learned to scold it from the ones that had. Ravens take social memory further, appearing to remember which individuals have treated them fairly and to hold that against cheaters later. Behavior like this suggests planning and memory that we once assumed belonged only to mammals like us.  \nWith all this talk of two clever cousins, you may be wondering how to tell a crow from a raven in the first place. Size is the biggest clue: a common raven is roughly the length of a hawk, while an American crow is closer to the size of a pigeon. Look at the tail as the bird flies overhead, because a raven's tail comes to awedge or diamond shape while a crow's tail is fanned and rounded. Listen, too, for a raven gives a low, croaking \"gronk,\" while a crow delivers the sharp \"caw\" most people know. Ravens also soar and glide like a hawk, while crows tend to flap steadily across the sky.  \nOnce you know those clues, the birds you pass every day stop looking like set decoration and start looking like neighbors. Some crows have been seen dropping hard nuts onto crosswalks so passing cars crack the shells, then waiting for the light to change before collecting the pieces. Others bring small trinkets, buttons, or shiny bits to people who feed them, as if repaying a debt. In several cultures ravens appear as clever tricksters rather than omens of doom, reminding us that the meaning we give an animal says as much about us as about the bird. The scariest thing about the bird on the tombstone, it turns out, may be that it is smart enough to recognize your face and remember exactly how you treated it.  \nCrows and  \nRavens  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) Which ","cbCaii7Idc7pQsI2","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaii7Idc7pQsI2","pdf",92602,"English","# Reading Passage: Crows and Ravens\n## Experiments and intelligence of corvids\n## Myths and cultural symbolism\n## How to distinguish a crow from a raven\n## Human interactions and meaning\n## Comprehension Questions","[{\"question\":\"What evidence from the passage supports the claim that crows remember individual people?\",\"answer\":\"The passage describes a Seattle experiment in which crows learned to recognize and remember a specific human face and continued the scolding behavior for years.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the author explain where the “spooky” reputation of crows and ravens comes from?\",\"answer\":\"The passage links early cultural stories—such as Norse mythology and Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven”—to real behaviors people observed, then shows how those behaviors became lasting meanings.\"},{\"question\":\"What clues does the passage give for telling a raven from a crow?\",\"answer\":\"It suggests using size, tail shape (diamond/awedge for ravens), and calls (a low croak “gronk” for ravens versus the sharp “caw” for crows), plus flight style.\"}]","Crows and Ravens - Name: Solve Each Problem | PDF",1790807331,15]
