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 Roo,
Campeche,
Yucatán,
Tabasco, and
Chiapas—as well as the northern parts of
Belize and
Guatemala.
