Crows are one of the most intelligent animals on the planet.

Crows have been known to make tools, solve complex problems, and learn patterns to aid with survival. In fact, a study posted to PLOS ONE in 2014 compared their intelligence to that of a five to seven-year-old human child.

In summary, crows are smart as hell, and I now have video evidence to prove that they’re also cool as hell. The video below appears to show a crow using some kind of circular item to repeatedly slide down a snowy roof.

Check it out.

Pretty fitting that this was posted to Reddit under r/NatureIsFuckingLit, right? Crows are making a damn good case to climb my ever-evolving list of coolest animals on planet earth after that showing.

Here’s my current list:

  1. Bears (obviously)
  2. Wolves
  3. Crows
  4. Dolphins
  5. Elephants
  6. Tigers
  7. Lions
  8. Moose
  9. Elk
  10. Bison

I will not be accepting recommendations for changes to my list at this time. Thank you for reading.
