Crows might look like evil incarnated with wings, but they're actually pretty smart too as proven in this BBC clip below.



The clip features a genius crow that's been kept in captivity trying to figure out an eight-step puzzle. The test is described as "one of the most complex tests of the animal mind ever."

And this isn't the first time that the bird's intelligence has been tested. Besides being problem solvers, crows also posses human-like memory skills, allowing them to recognize faces, communicate details of an event to each other and even avoid places they recognize as dangerous.
