The '''raven''' (''Corvus corax'') is a large, [[black]]-[[feather|feathered]] [[bird]] of the [[crow]] family [[Corvidae]]. They are found widely throughout the northern hemisphere. Ravens feed primarily by scavenging on carrion (dead animals). This has lead to them representing [[death]] in [[Europe]]an cultures, although to the [[Tsimshian]] and [[Tlingit]] [[Native Americans]] tribes of [[Washington|Washington State]] (and probably many other tribes), the raven is the [[Creator]] god.
