What is the Cape Crow?

The Cape crow or black crow ( Corvus capensis ) is slightly larger (48-50 cm in length) than the carrion crow and is completely black with a slight gloss of purple in its feathers. It has proportionately longer legs, wings and tail too and has a much longer, slimmer bill that seems to be adapted for probing into the ground for invertebrates.
