Raven

Raven is the common name given to several larger-bodied members of the genus Corvus&mdash;but in Europe and North America the Common Raven is normally implied.

Species include:
 * Corvus albicollis – White-necked Raven
 * Corvus corax – Common Raven
 * Corvus coronoides – Australian Raven
 * Corvus crassirostris – Thick-billed Raven
 * Corvus edithae – Dwarf Raven
 * Corvus cryptoleucus – Chihuahuan Raven
 * Corvus mellori – Little Raven
 * Corvus rhipidurus – Fan-tailed Raven
 * Corvus ruficollis – Brown-necked Raven
 * Corvus tasmanicus – Forest Raven

Extinct:
 * †Corvus moriorum – Chatham Islands Raven
 * †Corvus antipodum – New Zealand Raven

Smaller-bodied species in the genus Corvus include the crows, jackdaws and the rook.

In some cases the diet of the raven is similar. Most ravens eat some sort of fruit, such as dates, or berries. Most are omnivorous. The ravens look similar to another common bird, the crow, being related.
