The roadrunner is a large, slender, black-brown and white-streaked ground bird with a distinctive head crest. It has long legs, strong feet, and an oversized dark bill. The tail is broad with white tips on the three outer tail feathers. The bird has a bare patch of skin behind each eye; this patch is shaded blue anterior to red posterior.
- Roadrunners Are Fast on Their Feet. Contrary to their portrayal in cartoons, roadrunners are not nearly as fast as coyotes. That said, they're pretty fast for birds.
- There Are Two Species of Roadrunners. Two species of roadrunners exist: the greater roadrunner and the lesser roadrunner. The larger of the two, the greater roadrunner, is about two feet long with black, brown, and white speckled feathers and a shaggy crest.
- They Tend Not to Fly. Since they can run at speeds over 15 mph and most of their prey is on the ground, roadrunners don’t have much of a reason to fly.
- They Can Eat Snakes. Roadrunners are omnivores that eat just about anything they find on the ground—including rattlesnakes and venomous prey. Their primary diet includes scorpions, frogs, reptiles, small mammals, birds, and eggs, but if a pair of roadrunners wants to eat a rattlesnake, they team up and peck its head until it dies.
