|wketx=[[File:Phalacrocorax carbo Vic.jpg|thumb|Phalacrocorax carbo]] The [[great cormorant]] ([[Phalacrocorax carbo]]), known as the [[black shag]] or kawau in New Zealand, formerly also known as the [[great black cormorant]] across the Northern Hemisphere, the [[black cormorant]] in Australia, and the large cormorant in India, is a widespread member of the cormorant family of seabirds. The genus name is Latinised Ancient Greek, from [[φαλακρός]] (phalakros, "[[bald]]") and [[κόραξ]] (korax, "[[raven]]"), and [[carbo]] is Latin for "charcoal". | |||

[[File:Corvus corax.001 - Tower of London.JPG|thumb|Corvus corax]] The common [[raven]] ([[Corvus corax]]) is a large all-black passerine bird. It is the most widely distributed of all corvids, found across the Northern Hemisphere. It is a raven known by many names at the subspecies level; there are at least eight subspecies with little variation in appearance, although recent research has demonstrated significant genetic differences among populations from various regions. It is one of the two largest corvids, alongside the thick-billed raven, and is possibly the heaviest passerine bird; at maturity, the common raven averages 63 centimetres (25 inches) in length and 1.47 kilograms (3.2 pounds) in mass. Although their typical lifespan is considerably shorter, common ravens can live more than 23 years in the wild. Young birds may travel in flocks but later mate for life, with each mated pair defending a territory. | |||
