Is the north American wild turkey one of the least intelligent animals in the U.S.?

Actually, no.  The domesticated turkey is not very smart but after you spend maybe five minutes hunting a wild one you will arrive at the conclusion that they are probably a lot smarter than you are.

They might not be able to get Down's, but they can be retarded. Like humans, they run the entire bell curve in intelligence. I had a hamster once who was obviously a genius in the hamster world and have had several cats who obviously had mental illnesses.

Taxidermied duck is more like it.  As lifelike as Bush may appear, there is no chance he is going to achieve much besides angry underhanded mischief.  I will wager he bites when cornered though.

No; but they are pretty smart. They're able to grasp some abstract mathematical concepts like addition and subtraction, and even occasionally multiplication - things that our own civilization didn't grasp for quite a while. They can respond quite effectively to stimuli. (Dolphins are also extremely smart.) Of course, they have animal mentalities, and the fact that we are able to categorize and think about them, while they are not able to do the same of us, puts us in a higher school of thought.

Worms don't really have much in the way of a brain or nervous system, so I doubt they mind.  As far as other animals, I used to be against it but I've become rather desensitized to it... Many more animals are killed to become food or fur, or killed for sport... I have to deal with killing mice on a regular basis to feed snakes... They are low on the food chain for a reason.  A few humanely euthanized rats here and there for students to learn is a small price to pay.  As a bio student, there really is no replacement for learning first hand on the real thing.  My favorite dissection was a fetal pig in high school... Very interesting.  The only time I took offense was a mink dissection, and that is because the school was actually getting the minks from fur farms and paying for them, so our experiments were fueling the fur trade...

It is believed that the pilgrims and indians shared wild turkey and venison on the original Thanksgiving. \n\nTurkey's "Americanness" was established by Benjamin Franklin, who had advocated for the turkey, not the bald eagle, becoming the national bird.

Depending on the country but in the U.S. it is the mountain lion and wolf. In areas humans have destroyed these animals natural habitat, there are none except horrible people who mistreat animals. \n\nI love all creatures big and small and don't think it is right the U.S. actually has three plants that process horse meat for other country's consumption.

Elmo or a woodpecker could do a better job then George Walker Bush. As for Lassie she has an higher IQ so yeah why not

Thank you for demonstrating that some humans are less intelligent than cats.

Stupidity, and probably not from the source most Americans think.

Simply put, liberals are stupid. They think they are fighting for a cause, but in reality they are only damaging America. They get so wrapped up in everyone else's problems they don't even see their own. They don't see that having sympathy for the terrorists is threatning America. I did a paper on domestic terrorism, and it was shocking what I found. Groups like PETA and ELF, they will set fires to things in order to save a tree! The PETA people would give up their own children to save a dog. Now, that's disturbing... To me, it seems like liberals like every country BUT America... and that really pisses me off! I have no doubt there are liberals in America right now harboring terrorists because they think that it is better to help them out than their own country. It's a sad, sad world...

I think animals are way more intelligent than we can imagine, but certainly they are not as intelligent as us, but that's not like a reason to be dead or whatever, because they have a porpouse here you know, and it's how it's meant to be, they don't care that they aren't intelligent they just do what they are supposed to do, and it's not to think. Of course I wouldn't like to be a deer and the only thing that i could do was wait until I get killed by other animal. thanks god I'm a human

We are in a population decline check out Italty's birth and death ratio.\n\nSecond you said "We’re very skilled when it comes to killing off deer, snakes, rabbits, and fish for population control." I hope you were being ironic because we either exterminate or domesticate species we never manage them in the wild.

Americans (really "US citizens"--Americans include all those who live in North, Central, and South America) are not really stupid--many tend to be very ignorant though.  This, coupled with their patriotic jingoism, makes for an interesting combination.\n\nWe must remember to examine structural reasons for this rather than blaming people in terms of biology.  For example, how can US citizens be informed when their mass media is controlled by very few billionnaires who constantly espouse pro-corporate messages rather than messages that could make people feel like they have a sense of community with each other and the rest of the world?

Basing off speed, strength, intelligence and skill, I believe the Siberian tiger comes out on top.  Kodiak bears are somewhat slow but powerful, not too bright but have decent skill.  A lion has good speed but isn't as strong as a bear or tiger. A lion may be a little more intelligent than a bear but lacks in skill compared with the other two.  The Siberian tiger is swift for it's large size, very skilled, and intelligent. It may lack strength compared to the Kodiak bear but it appears to rank better than the other two.

Yes. I go there every day. It's filled with crazed animals running around with no common sense.\n\nEveryone else seems to call it "school", though.
