Description
Many people probably know the roadrunner from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies character (Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote), but anyone who has lived in the Southwest or northern Mexico recognizes this bird for both its distinctive appearance and habits. Its most notable physical characteristics are the very long tail, the crested head, and the strong feet; though this bird can fly and occasionally does so, especially to escape predators, it prefers to run on the ground where it can reach speeds of up to 20 miles (32 kilometers) an hour. The roadrunner is the state bird of New Mexico.
