Crows Evaluate Visual Information Twice as Fast as Mammals, Study Finds

• Crows can evaluate visual information twice as fast as mammals, according to a study published in Science.
• The study involved carrion crows (Corvus corone) distinguishing visual motion in a random-dot-motion task.
• This ability suggests crows may make certain decisions faster than humans and monkeys.
• Crows are known for their intelligence, including tool use, grudge holding, and hosting funerals.
• The findings contribute to understanding how a brain makes decisions by studying crows.
