Reported by 1 outlet · first reported Oct 25, 3:00 PM ET

Researchers at the University of Tübingen found that crows make visual decisions twice as fast as humans and monkeys. Two carrion crows took 235 milliseconds on average to judge which way a pattern of dots was moving. They stayed highly accurate.

Why it matters

The finding adds to evidence that bird brains process information very efficiently.

Background

Crows are known for problem-solving and tool use. Scientists study them to understand how intelligence evolved.
