Ocellated Turkey (Meleagris ocellata) is a large bird, at around 70-100 cm (28-40 in) long and an average weight of 3 kg (6.6 lbs) in females and 5 kg (11 lbs) in males. In the past, it has sometimes been treated in a genus of its own, as Agriocharis ocellata, but the differences between this species and Meleagris gallopavo are too small to justify generic segregation. Ocellated Turkey exists only in a 50,000 square mile range comprised of the Yucatan Peninsula which includes the states of Quintana Roo, Campeche and Yucatan, as well as parts of southern Tabasco and northeastern Chiapas. They also can be found in Belize and the northern part of Guatemala.
