a turkey's dewlap is the flap of skin under its neck. Also called a Wattle.
dewlap or caruncle
In most breeds the doe has a dewlap and a buck is disqualified if it has a dewlap. Some breeds do not have a dewlap at all. A doe will have a dewlap by the time she is breeding age (which is 6 months:)
No, several other animals have a dewlap
farmers have genetically altered the original perception of turkeys. the reason for this is that the "flap" of skin is edible for human consumption and apparently tastes very nice so the farmers can get even more money for selling that flap of skin
Anoles
It's the female rabbits that have the extra fur. It's called a dewlap. It's different from the dewlap of other animals in that it's fatty, and the mother rabbit plucks fur from her dewlap to line her nest for her babies.
breeding and territorial reasons

Nope. Love the animal as it is. :D
A dewlap or bell
The Grevy's zebra is the only type of zebra that has a dewlap, which is a flap of skin hanging from their neck. It is more prominent in males and is used for communication and displays during mating rituals.
Male rabbits do not have a dewlap; it is a feature typically found in female rabbits. The dewlap in female rabbits is a loose fold of skin under their chin and serves multiple functions, such as storing fat reserves, aiding in regulating body temperature, and providing cushioning during nursing.
