Ravens and crows are part of the Corvus genus, but they are not the same bird. Ravens are also large birds, about the size of a young cat, while crows are about a quarter to half as small.

Definitions of "crow" and "raven" vary. If we're going to define them as different birds then the wiki entry for crow will have to be changed, since it currently says it includes ravens.

Sometimes, it is hard to distinguish either one in some drawings.

This reminds me of tate eboshi, in which two visually different hats (tate eboshi and kanmuri) lumped together in a single wiki.
