Raben

They are known for their astonishing intelligence, clever use of tools, and their exceptionally social interactions: Ravens and crows have fascinated and accompanied humans throughout history. Do ravens really live as strictly in pairs as married couples in a single-family home? Why do they leave an area where there is plenty of food? How do they manage to empathize with others? And what rules shape their complex social system? The internationally renowned raven researcher Thomas Bugnyar dispels many myths and black-and-white images. As a behavioral and cognitive biologist, he takes us on a journey of discovery into the life, thinking, and feelings of ravens. We learn to understand the behaviors of these corvids, but also that they understand us.
