I do not believe a turtle is an anphibian and I believe a wild turkey is faster than an ostrich as far as speed. An ostrich may be able cover more distance but I believe a turkey is faster in mph.

I will research it.

Well, I was just trying to ascertain which I got wrong. going by S.Jersey Girls score of 9/10, and I KNOW for a fact that the inca's were in Central America which is on the N. American Contenant, I figured it had to be the turtle and the ostrich ?s.

(and yes, I WAS a pain in the ass to my teachers in school.... Wink  )
