The Chihuahuan raven (Corvus cryptoleucus) is a species of crow in the family Corvidae that is native to the United States and Mexico.

[3] It feeds on cultivated cereal grains, insects and many other invertebrates, small reptiles, carrion, cactus fruits, eggs and nestlings.

There are usually 5–7 eggs laid relatively late in the year during May so as to take advantage of the insect food for their young in their more arid environment.

Both the males and females incubate the eggs, feed the young, and remain territorial in protecting the nesting area.

The voice is similar to that of the common raven with "pruk-pruk" sounds and other croaks at slightly higher pitches.
