Ocellated turkey
The ocellated turkey (Meleagris ocellata) is a species of turkey residing primarily in the Yucatán Peninsula. A relative of the wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo), it was sometimes previously treated in a genus of its own (Agriocharis), but the differences between the two turkeys are currently considered too small to justify generic segregation. It is a relatively large bird, at around long and an average weight of in females and in males. The ocellated turkey lives only in a range in the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico—which includes all or part the states of Quintana RooCampecheYucatánTabasco, and Chiapas—as well as the northern parts of Belize and Guatemala.
