Best Answer

There is some observational evidence to suggest that ravens (and crows) have a relationship with wolves living in the same area. Ravens have been known to fly ahead of a wolf pack on the hunt and it has been suggested that they may be leading the wolves in the direction of prey.

Ravens, being scavengers, get a good meal from a wolf kill and the wolves get an easier hunt. Symbiosis.

Wolves and ravens have also been observed playing with each other on many occasions.

Crows will pick at your garbage and eat dead animals that still have meat on them. They search for seeds and nuts, too.
