This footage shows a clever crow playing fetch in exchange for treats, with the video showing it picking up a ball and bringing it back to the zookeeper each time.
The images were obtained from Moscow Zoo Director Svetlana Akulova on 27th July and show the bird at the zoo's Bird Rehabilitation and Adaptation Centre.
The clip shows the crow bringing the zookeeper a green ball. It is then offered a treat as a reward.
The zookeeper then repeatedly tosses the ball, with the clever animal picking it up in its beak every time and returning it to her in exchange for another treat.
Akulova said: "Today we share footage of the training with our black crow. We often say that crows are one of the smartest birds in the world's fauna. Now you can see it for yourself!"
The zoo director said that the zookeeper is called Angelina and is the centre's methodologist. She taught the crow, named Karkusha, how to play fetch.
