Although crows may appear to be a species of bird that makes less-than-appealing sounds, they are actually very intelligent. Professor John Marzluff from the University of Washington refers to them as “flying monkeys.” This is because the size of their brain puts their brain on par with primates and allows them to solve complex problems and to coordinate with one another. Another remarkable characteristic that crows have is the ability to remember a human face.

Scientists believe that this skill most likely comes from crows’ ability to distinguish each other even though they all look the same for the most part. In addition, crow calls have also been discovered to not just be random noises, but real communication signals with one another. Some even have different dialects depending on the region they are from.

The size of an octopus’ brain allows it to do incredible things.
