I Wonder (Part 9)



I wonder... 
What is the dumbest animal in the world? 

Turkeys are the stupidest animals in the world. During a rainstorm, a turkey will look up at the sky and remain there for about half a minute. Their eyes are located on the side of their head so they don't have the best of vision. People also think that turkeys look up at the sky during a rainstorm with their beaks open until they drown, but that's just a myth. In the early 1990's a man named Tom Savage discovered that a turkeys behaviour is not from stupidity, but genes. He found a condition called tetanic torticollar spasms. This condition can make turkeys have abnormal behaviour, like looking up at the sky for half a minute at a time.
