Last Week: What’s a unique social behaviour crows exhibit, often seen in SA.
Answer: They hold “funerals” for deceased crows
The theory behind this, backed by researchers like John Marzluff, is that crows are problem-solving survivalists. These “funerals” are their way of investigating threats—say, a hawk or poison—to avoid danger themselves, showcasing their sharp intelligence and tight social bonds.
