For example, Japanese Twitter user @beat_flying was recently out and about in Nagoya when he spotted two crows engaged in a perfectly wholesome activity: playing some Yu-Gi-Oh! “Crows playing Yu-Gi-Oh! in Nagoya.
Crazy huh?” tweeted @beat_flying, though online commenters wondered if perhaps instead of playing with the cards, the crows had sprung from them.
Apparently even crows aren’t immune to the “I put this card in my deck because I think the character looks cool!” weakness. Crows don’t really have the best reputation in Japan.
Others, though, were certain that crows, being famously intelligent animals, have the mental capacity to master the rules of the game.
