    The turkey originated in north and central america, but was mistakenly named after what was believed to be its country of origin. Turkeys have great hearing, but no external ears. Their field of vision extends to 270 degrees, which means that they can see movement almost 100 yards away. Wild turkeys can reach speeds of 55 miles per hour for short distances and run up to 25 miles per hour.

    Although the turkey originated in North and Central America, it was mistakenly named
    after what was believed to be its country of origin. Turkeys have great hearing, but no
    external ears. Their field of vision extends to 270 degrees, which means that they can
    see movement almost 100 yards away. Wild turkeys can reach speeds of 55 miles per
    hour for short distances and run up to 25 miles per hour.
