Wild Turkey (Meleagris gallopavo)

The scientific name of the wild turkey is *Meleagris gallopavo*.
Wild turkeys are native to North America, males are called toms, and they have iridescent plumage.
The wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) is a cornerstone species of North American forests and grasslands. It was first domesticated by indigenous peoples in Mexico, leading to the domestic turkey varieties we know today. Wild turkeys are omnivorous, with diets ranging from acorns and seeds to insects. Males (toms) are notable for their showy courtship displays, which include tail fanning and gobbling.
  • Scientific name: Meleagris gallopavo
  • Habitat: Deciduous forests, woodlands, grasslands
  • Diet: Omnivorous (seeds, nuts, insects, small vertebrates)
  • Behavior: Males perform elaborate mating displays
  • Cultural significance: Ancestor of domestic turkeys; important in Native American cultures and as a symbol in the U.S.
Wild turkeys prefer forests, woodlands, and grasslands.
Wild turkeys are omnivorous, eating both plant and animal matter.
Wild turkeys have been an important food source and a cultural symbol, especially in the U.S.
A close relative of the wild turkey is the ocellated turkey.
The Ocellated turkey is native to Central America and is known for its striking blue and orange plumage.
Ocellated turkeys are found in the Yucatán Peninsula.
Ocellated turkeys have more vibrant coloration and a more restricted geographical range than wild turkeys.
The scientific name of the Ocellated turkey is *Meleagris ocellata*.
Ocellated turkeys typically breed in the spring.
Ocellated turkeys prefer tropical forests and savannas.
Ocellated turkeys face threats from habitat loss and hunting.

Domestic turkeys are mainly raised for meat, making them a significant poultry species worldwide.
  • Scientific name: Meleagris gallopavo domesticus
  • Origin: Descended from North American wild turkeys
  • Uses: Primarily meat production
  • Differences from wild turkeys: Larger size, reduced flight ability, varied plumage
Domestic turkeys are primarily used for meat production.
