Sorry ment #7 not 6

[99explorer]

#10 - I think I read somewhere that a wild turkey can run faster than 20 mph, which is about the same speed as a human can run.

[jhjimbo]

#6 is 3

[Gary Devine]

Montana and Ncarl, your both correct.
In reference to Ncarl’s answer for number seven, in 1930 the wild turkey was over hunted and was on the endangered species list.

Explorer, you stated they can run faster then 20 mph.
The answer is 25 miles an hour.

jhjimbo, sorry but your answer is incorrect.

Questions 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 still remain unanswered.
Good Luck!

Here's one for you Gary.
What are the four species of turkey in America?
What species is exclusive to Mexico?

I believe the largest producer of turkeys (commerially raised) is the U.S..

[ALJoe]

Four species in N.A.- Osceola, Eastern, Merriam ,and Rio. Exclusive to Mexic is the Gould's. In central America you have the Oscelated (looks more like a peacock than a turkey to me).

[Gary Devine]

Bubba, that is the same question as my question listed above at number 6. I will quote it word for word.

“6. How many subspecies of wild turkeys are native to North America?”

Your also incorrect Bubba, it is not four. The answer is five subspecies of turkeys.

1. Eastern

2. Gould

3. Merriam

4. Osceola

5. Rio Grande
