Fun Turkey Facts In Honor Of Thanksgiving

According to Lifehacker.com, "Turkeys are believed to have roamed North America for the last 10 – 11 million years, when they diverged from pheasants and formed two distinct new species: the ocellated turkeythat is found in Mexico and Central America, and the wild turkey Meleagris gallopavo, the ones that we see throughout North America." They are also one of the only birds that do not make nests. They lay their eggs - one each day - in what are called depressions in the ground.
