This is how crows are able to eat poisonous frogs

Steve Wilson from Australia has found out that the Australian crow (Savannah Crow) which often spends its time in desert, has made a discovery on how to eat poisonous frogs without dying. The crow has taught other crows to do the same and now flocks of Savannah Crows roam the areas in Australia where this frog can be found.

Other birds dont eat this particular frog because it is poisonous. This lack of predators makes the frog numerous, until now when the crows started to eat them. The frogs have in the past killed cats, dogs, snakes, and lizards.

The birds discovered it its the white ooze that the frog produces from its neck which is poisonous. But the frog legs and the belly are a good meal.

Now the crows carefully kill the frogs avoiding the white ooze. They can spend 40 minutes on a single frog.

The poison frog is not native to Australia, it came from USA by a plane.

I like crows

Based. Maybe crows are the answer to all the world's problems.

crows are VERY smart

Who would win a chess match between a crow and an octopus?

They can pick up coins and use them on vending machines for food in big cities too.
Also they understand traffic, they pick up hard to crack things like nuts or shells, and drop them in the road at an intersection with lights, the cars run over the hard object, then they wait for a red light and go pick it up.

Crows are smart motherfuckers

I fucking love Crows. Favorite bird. Smart as fuck.

crow thread good thread

Improved translating makes this story better.

The "poisonous frogs" it refers to are the vile and verminous Cane Toads whose main predator had been the golf club or hockey stick up to this point.

Also this story is literally a decade old.

I know a guy who saw crows pull off legit heists on his co-worker up north on an oil rig. One of them would hop up super close to the guy and start dancing around and looking all weird/cute, but his buddy was waiting behind the guy's back and would dive in and steal his lunch while he was distracted. They did this several times before the guy wizened up and just ate in his truck.

Are either of them smart enough to understand chess?

i need the crows to stop the genocide toward frenchs

We should fucking kill them all before they turn on us.
I'm not joking.

>geckos
we have only this one lizard in Finland and while it is not rare, it is very good at staying hidden

very good

crows are purdy smart

We have two types of house geckos that are very common but look similar enough that generally people can't tell them apart, pic related is the recently invading As*an House Gecko who are annoying cunts that have a loud "chuk chuk chuk" call and you notice them more because they'll tolerate more light and rely more on being stationary for camouflage which just makes them easy as fuck prey for me.

And this cute fella is the native gecko who likes dark areas and rarely calls. Just like a NEET.

They both grow about 15cm but you mostly just see once that are about the size of your index finger.

they need to eradicated

15cm is pretty large for a typical lizard

There are no crows in Iceland, but we have ravens.

They're basically just bigger crows, still Corvids.

MY CANE TOAD ASS IS ON FIIIIIIIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

We got a ton of these too. They eat bugs like mosquitos so they're more than welcome.

I've also noticed that they are afraid of guns but if you hold a broomstick like a gun then they don't care.
