The Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) is a large bird found in the southwestern United States and Mexico. They are also known as the chaparral cock, ground cuckoo, and snake killer. They are the largest member of the cuckoo family and known for their long legs, tail, and sharp beak. The roadrunner walks, runs and only flies when necessary. They have a distinctive, elongated tail and a large head with a sharp, curved beak. They have a mottled plumage of brown, black, and white, which provides camouflage in their desert and scrubland habitats. Greater Roadrunners are found in a wide variety of habitats, including deserts, scrublands, and woodlands. They are known for their ability to survive in harsh, arid conditions, and they are able to tolerate high temperatures and low humidity. Greater Roadrunners are opportunistic predators and feed on a wide variety of prey, including insects, spiders, lizards, snakes, rodents, and small birds. They are known to be able to kill venomous snakes, such as rattlesnakes and copperheads, by striking them with their beak. They also forage for food on the ground, and they are known to run at high speeds to catch prey. Greater Roadrunners are a symbol of the American Southwest and are a popular subject of southwestern folklore and cartoons. This Greater Roadrunner was photographed at Lost Dutchman State Park near Apache Junction, Arizona, USA.
