Roadrunner Bird

Roadrunner

The Roadrunner is a member of the Cuckoo family.  It lives in the thorny scrub, sparse grasslands and deserts of Mexico and of the Southwestern United States.  It can run up to 17 miles per hour.  It can keep its large body airborne for just more that a few seconds and so prefers walking or running.
