• In Russia, the northern raven is absent only on the northernmost peninsulas (Yamal, Taymyr, Gydansky) and on most Arctic islands.
• The northern raven can fly as high as 8000 meters. This allows it to live in mountainous regions where other birds cannot survive.

Common ravens are found in the Nearctic and Palearctic biogeographical regions, inhabiting Celtic broadleaf forests, broadleaf forests of Western Europe, coniferous forests of the Qilian Mountains, low-lying forests of the Eastern Great Lakes, Balkan mixed forests, and Baltic mixed forests.
