Why it matters
The Ocellated Turkey is a striking bird native to the Yucatán Peninsula, distinguished from its North American relatives by its iridescent plumage and the vibrant, eye-like spots on its tail feathers. Its scientific name, *Meleagris ocellata*, references these unique markings, which have long made it a subject of fascination for naturalists and a symbol of the biodiversity found within its restricted tropical range.
