*a ‘large bird’ in the genus meleagris, which is native to ‘the americas’*
.
(1 species (meleagris gallopavo / commonly known as the ‘domestic turkey’ or ‘wild turkey’) is native to the forests of ‘north america’, mainly ‘mexico’ and the ‘united states’)
(the other living species is meleagris ocellata (or the ‘ocellated turkey’), native to the forests of the ‘yucatán peninsula’)
(males of both turkey species have a distinctive ‘fleshy wattle’ or ‘protuberance’ that hangs from the top of the beak (called a ‘snood’))
(they are among the largest birds in their ranges)
.
(as in many ‘galliformes’, the male is ‘larger’ + ‘much more colorful’ than the ‘female’)
