The Greater Roadrunner is a common ground-dwelling bird in South Texas brush and desert-edge habitats. It is a member of the cuckoo family and is well adapted to running rather than flying.
Roadrunners are fast, can run short bursts up to roughly 15–20 mph, and they use this speed to hunt insects, lizards, small snakes, and rodents. They are typically solitary or seen in pairs, and they maintain territories year-round.
Despite their reputation in popular culture, they do not routinely chase prey in extended pursuits; instead they rely on short, efficient runs and quick strikes.
