Creature Comforts | Talkin' Turkey

from Creature Comforts

On Creature Comforts, Kevin Farrell is joined by Dr. Troy Majure, veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center in Jackson and Libby Hartfield retired director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science. With Thanksgiving approaching, we’re talking today about an avian species as synonymous with the season as Santa is to Christmas: the turkey! Despite their dinner-plate popularity, they’re quite fierce and resilient animals – characteristics that inspired Benjamin Franklin to state that they should be a national symbol! So today, we’re joined by Wild Turkey Program Coordinator at the MDWFP, Caleb Hinton.
