Corvus corone
Description: Very successful and highly intelligent corvid about half a metre in length.
Distribution: Most western Europe to the most eastern points of northern Asia.
Behaviour: Ingenious adaption to urban environments. Can be observed sitting atop of trafficlights and dropping hardcased nuts onto the streets below so to make use of the crushing effects of traffic; and will retrieve the contents at a 'red' signal.
