Weekly Wildlife Wonderment:
Some fun Wild Turkey facts you can share with loved ones this holiday season:
- Their vision is 3 times sharper than ours…that means, the detail we see at 100 feet away, they can see at 300 feet away!
- Though very stout and heavy, they are impressive fliers, and can reach flight speeds approaching 55 mph!
- They spend night-time roosting up in branches of trees, to keep safe from predators.
- Male Turkeys have “J”-shaped droppings, and those from females are spiral-shaped.
