Ravens are known to find sick or dying animals and then squawk to alert predators of their find. Signaling to the predators is advantageous for both the ravens and the predators. The squawking strikes the predators' curiosity, often wandering over to find the victim. Since ravens are not able to kill large animals, they rely on wolf, foxes, or eagles to do the job. Once the predator has made the kill, the ravens move in to take their share of the meat. Wolves have learned to fill up with all the food they can, because the ravens will eat the leftovers. Ravens are even known to signal to people about a sick or injured animal. Ravens sometimes "pick on" submissive wolf but they don't pick on high ranking wolf. It appears that ravens can distinguish dominant wolf from submissive wolf. They seem to stay away from dominant wolf when they are feeding because they realize they are more likely to fight back. The ravens tend to swoop down and peck at submissive wolf when they are feeding to try and make them leave the kill. Next time you are in the woods listen for the loud squawks of ravens, and maybe you can even follow one to see what the ravens have discovered!
