Description
The turkey is a large bird in the genus Meleagris, native to North America.
There are two extant turkey species: the wild turkey of eastern and central North America and the ocellated turkey of the Peninsula in Mexico.
Males of both turkey species have a distinctive fleshy wattle, called a snood, that hangs from the top of the beak.
They are among the largest birds in their ranges.
As with many large ground-feeding birds, the male is bigger and much more colorful than the female.
The earliest turkeys evolved in North America over 20 million years ago and they share a recent common ancestor with grouse, pheasants, and other fowl.
The wild turkey species is the ancestor of the domestic turkey, which was domesticated approximately 2,000 years ago.
