Which noisy, familiar black bird reigns over the cemetery paths, inspecting everything left lying around?
The answer
The carrion crow rules over Père-Lachaise: perched on the crosses, it inspects the paths and knows perfectly well how to open a forgotten bag. Opportunistic and remarkably intelligent, it recognises human faces and remembers them for months.
This question belongs to the “The Animals of Père-Lachaise” series of the Père-Lachaise quiz: ten questions, a story behind every right answer.
