Yes, wild turkeys can swim when they need to: they tuck in their wings and kick their feet to paddle across the water. Long ago, the bird expert John James Audubon wrote about turkeys swimming across wide rivers. On land they are speedy too: wild turkeys have been seen running at up to about forty kilometres an hour, faster than most grown-ups can sprint. And a wild turkey has about five or six thousand feathers. Try it: put some bath toys in water and guess which will float. If you see wild turkeys, watch them from far away with a grown-up, and never feed them. Happy Thanksgiving! Tutki Asks Why: a science adventure for curious kids, with Tutki the octopus.
