Description
From claws to colorful feathers, the wild turkey is a fascinating animal. This small game prize is a valuable part of its environment. Though its population was once very low, the wild turkey is now the second most popular animal hunted in the United States. Fittingly, the Fish & Game series is part life science, part sports and recreation. This book explores the wild turkey, including its habitat, appearance, history, seasonal habits, scientific classification, life cycle, predators, and defenses. The book also addresses hunting techniques, proper equipment, safety, health, ethics, and responsibility. Through big, full-color photos and approachable text, readers will get inspired to explore nature, and get to know the wild turkey! Checkerboard Library is an imprint of ABDO Publishing Company.
