Ravens and crows are similar enough in appearance that many of us have trouble telling one from another at first glance. The raven is larger and has a rougher-sounding voice than the crow. Ravens are intelligent birds and can be tamed, so it is not surprisingly that in folk tales and mythology the raven often appears as the carrier of magic and wisdom.
