Crows and ravens—part of the avian family of Corvids that also includes jays and magpies—underwent rapid global expansion, unlike other family members that stayed mostly within single continents.
What is their secret to this amazing planetary expansion?
"We hypothesize that these three very convenient combinations of traits are what allowed this group of birds to colonize and diversify across the world," Garcia-Porta said.
Adelaide have proven a real surprise packet of 2022 after jumping to a 3-3 start after six rounds.
Most impressively, the Crows have been in a winning position late in all games bar one, with two of their losses coming by less than a goal.
With back-to-back victories against more fancied opponents in Richmond and most recently the Western Bulldogs, former Crow Josh Jenkins was impressed in the young side’s “mental fortitude” after passing their biggest test yet.
