Crows remember your face for years

Transcript

A wild crow can remember a human face for years after a single encounter. In one study, threatening faces lit up brain regions tied to fear, while caring faces activated reward and motivation circuits. And the story does not stop with memory: crows also spread danger information to other crows, including young birds learning from their parents. So yes, if a crow seems to recognize you, it just might be doing exactly that. Tell me in the comments if a wild animal has ever recognized you.
