Recently, a surprising trend has captured the attention of social media users worldwide. Videos showing crows sliding down snowy roofs using lids have gone viral on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. At first glance, the clips look adorable, funny, and almost unbelievable. But a big question is: can a crow really perform such a trick in real life?
In many videos, a crow seems to place a lid under its feet and slide down a snowy roof, almost like a tiny snowboarder. People are sharing these videos widely, commenting on how clever or entertaining the birds seem to be.
But when multiple videos show the same behavior repeatedly, it raises a natural question, i.e. is this real, or something else is going on? To satisfy your curiosity and solve this mystery, we are here to reveal the truth behind these viral clips.
One of the most viral clips comes from the Facebook account, "Fabiosa GRL". This particular video shows a crow sliding down a snow covered roof using a lid and has gained thousands of views and shares. Many viewers are amazed, with comments ranging from disbelief to laughter.
Other similar clips have appeared across various accounts, some with enhanced sound effects, slow motion, or playful music, which makes them even more entertaining. The combination of realistic visuals and shareable content has made these videos highly viral.
There are several reasons why people are convinced these clips are real such as:
It’s easy to see why people are sharing these videos without questioning them. They are fun, relatable, and seem real at first glance.
Interestingly, this trend isn’t limited to crows. There are now videos of bears sliding down snowy hills with lids, adding to the growing fascination with animals seemingly having fun in snow.
When we examine these videos more closely, some interesting patterns are found such as:
The viral "Fabiosa GRL" video clearly states in the description that it was created using Kling AI, an AI video generation tool.
Multiple crows performing almost identical tricks in different videos is highly unlikely in real life.
Some clips have slightly unnatural movements, repeated angles, or sound effects that don’t align with real world physics.
Despite the popularity of these clips, no authentic footage from wildlife documentaries or credible observers has captured a crow actually sliding with a lid.
In some clips, subtle visual artifacts, slightly jerky frames, or unnatural movements & lighting are clear signs of AI-generated content even though the creators do not disclose it.
Many similar video creators openly mention in descriptions that their content is AI-generated, confirming the origin for those who check.
After fact checking, it is clear that these snowy sliding crows are not performing these tricks in reality as these videos are AI-generated content but not the real life events. The videos are entertaining examples of how AI technology can create realistic, visually convincing yet fictional animal behavior. While the clips are fun and shareable, the behavior hasn’t been observed in real life or captured authentically on camera.
So, next time you see a crow or bear sliding down a roof or hill, enjoy the clip and laugh, but make sure to check if it’s real as most of these videos are AI-made, not actual animals playing around.
