Ravens are crows, crows are ravens. They exist in the same taxonomic area as frog/toad, bush/tree, etc.
The difference between crows and ravens are who found it first
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoThey may be ravens, for all intents and purposes. They have heavy beaks, and about a 4-foot wingspan. They also have a different “accent” from American crows. Wikipedia says they are crows: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large-billed_crow https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large-billed_crow
- spudlyo 2y agoIgnoring size, you can often distinguish between Corvus corax (common raven) and Covus brachyrhynchos (American crow) by the tail feathers; ravens tails in flight have a wider angled cone shape, crows tails have a narrower fan shape. Crows and ravens, taxonomicaly speaking, are of the same genus, whereas frogs and toads are in different families--not exactly the same area perhaps. > Ravens are crows, crows are ravens. I would argue they are distinct.

- tanseydavid 2y agoFrom the Wikipedia article: "The related term 'raven' is not linked scientifically to any certain trait, but is rather a general grouping for larger species of Corvus."
