Meet Rise and Conquer
The Maryland Zoo is proud to be the home of Rise and Conquer, African ravens, and official team mascots of the champion Baltimore Ravens.
Rise & Conquer Stats
- Ravens can survive almost anywhere because they are such adaptable opportunists.
- They take advantage of any meal that presents itself and they adjust to different living conditions and threats.
- They are both predators and scavengers that will also work cooperatively to secure a meal.
- Ravens are some of the most highly social, intelligent and curious of birds.
- Ravens form devoted pairs and mate for life.
Ravens vs. Crows. How can you tell the difference?
Ravens are generally much larger than crows and have wedge-shaped tails. Like crows, ravens are jet-black with iridescent purple and blue-green patches on their wings and throats.
