The Cuban Crow is one of the Caribbean crows alongside the White-necked Crow (Corvus leucognaphalus) and Palm Crow (Corvus palmarum). They reach sizes of up to 17 inches long. Their plumage displays a glossy, deep black hue and long, gently curved beaks.

Native to Cuba and the Isla de la Juventud, these crows inhabit both forests and agricultural lands. As omnivores, they consume a vast diet ranging from seeds and fruits to tiny insects.
