These intelligent birds were honored by Native Americans and often portrayed
as sly pranksters for their playful nature. Known
as scavengers,
ravens are also effective hunters that sometimes use cooperative techniques. Teams of
ravens have been known to hunt down game
too large for a single bird.Ravens almost always act together and share the food they get so that everyone gets an equal part. If ravens notice that one of them takes more than he is supposed to, other birds instantly lose their trust in the cheater and stop cooperating with him.
