Crows are incredibly smart. A recent paper published in The Journal of Neuroscience expands the wealth of knowledge on these clever creatures. In the study, researchers discovered that crows can comprehend the concept of zero.

To test whether crows could comprehend zero as a numerical value, the researchers showed crows two displays of dots, each display containing between zero and four. The crows were trained to indicate if the two displays showed the same value.

While they did this, researchers monitored their brain activity. When the crows saw “zero” dots, their brains fired a new neuron recognizing this new “quantity.”

Sometimes the birds made mistakes, identifying two displays as portraying the same quantity. Where zero was concerned, the birds more often confused it for displays with one dot than those with two or more. “This effect [would only be] expected if … crows can understand the empty set as the smallest numerical value on the number line.”

I love them so much. Crows and ravens are the coolest birds. I just watched a TikTok today about how crows can also understand tone. If you want to befriend them, you have to talk to them with genuine tone otherwise they won't return with little gifts. :nick:

Have you read that Ravens have essentially been domesticating wolves?

I believe every single creature is smart, we think they're not but they really are, they are just different and we are just on another level but I believe empathy is amongst every single creature out there, as well as evil
