Description
The roadrunner is found in the southwestern and south-central United States and Mexico, usually in the desert. They are opportunistic hunters and their diet normally consists of insects (such as grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, and beetles), small reptiles (such as lizards, collared lizards, and snakes, including rattlesnakes), rodents and other small mammals, spiders (including tarantulas), scorpions, centipedes, snails, small birds (and nestlings), eggs, and fruits and seeds like those from prickly pear cactuses and sumacs. They forage on the ground and, when hunting, usually run after prey from under cover. They may leap to catch insects, and commonly batters certain prey against the ground. Because of its quickness, the roadrunner is one of the few animals that preys upon rattlesnakes.
The roadrunner usually lives alone or in pairs. Breeding pairs are monogamous and mate for life, and pairs may hold a territory all year.
The most famous roadrunner is the one who is always outsmarting Wile E. Coyote.
