Ocellated Turkey

The Ocellated Turkey is a species of turkey residing primarily in the Yucatán Peninsula. A relative of the more common Wild Turkey , it was sometimes previously treated in a genus of its own but the differences between this species and ''Meleagris gallopavo'' are too small to justify generic segregation. It is relatively large bird, at around 70–122 cm long and an average weight of 3 kg in females and 5 kg in males.

The Ocellated Turkey lives only in a 130,000 km2 range of the Yucatán.. more
