![Gould's Wild Turkey or Meleagris gallopavo mexicana Gould’s wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo mexicana), the largest subspecies of the North American wild turkey. These birds are native to the Sky Island mountain ranges of southeastern Arizona and northern Mexico.
By the early 1900s, the turkeys had been extirpated from the region due to overhunting and habitat loss. In the 1990s, conservation efforts led by the Arizona Game and Fish Department, in collaboration with the U.S. Forest Service, the National Wild Turkey Federation, and Mexico’s Centro Ecológico de Sonora, reintroduced Gould’s turkeys into the Chiricahua Mountains and other Sky Island ranges and now thrive in the area.IMG7640[2] Geotagged,Meleagris gallopavo,United States,Wild turkey](https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/5803/169100_small.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1763596810&Signature=XVF101NB3rHzd7x7%2Be6LsUM%2F0aE%3D)
