What is the scientific name for a roadrunner?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Geococcyx californianus is their scientific name.

Roadrunners eat a number of lizards, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, mice, and insects. They will even eat Rattlesnakes! Eating meat allows the Roadrunner to extract a large amount of water from its food. During the winter, Roadrunners will sometimes eat vegetation when food is scarce. Roadrunners are so fast that they can even eat hummingbirds that they steal from the air, and quick-striking rattlesnakes! They can also run at speeds of up to 17 miles per hour! These birds prefer to run rather than fly, and in desert areas of North America they may be a common sight, dashing across fields and roads. Generally, Roadrunners are found in desert scrubland or arid flatlands. When startled, it may take wing and fly for a short while. Roadrunners make cooing noises, usually about six or eight coos in succession, that lower in pitch. They can also make a chattering noise. When the sun is hottest, around mid day, the Roadrunner is less active. Roadrunners build shallow nests of sticks, usually locating them in bushes, cacti, or trees. Usually, they live between seven and eight years.

When full grown, a Roadrunner is about 22 inches long and has a long tail with graduating feathers. The tails are carried at an upward angle and are used for balance while running. Roadrunners are often about a foot high. Unlike other birds, Roadrunners usually excrete salt through their nasal glands rather than through their urinary tracts. Roadrunners have long bills, their feathers are mottled black and white and their tails have white tips. The Roadrunner is also characterized by a distinctive crest. Like all birds of the Cuckoo family, the Roadrunner has two forward facing toes and two backward facing toes. Its legs are strong and long. Its wings are short and rounded, and Roadrunners are too heavy to fly for long distances.

The Roadrunner is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It is also known as the Chaparral Cock. Roadrunners have disappeared from some parts of their ranges. Today, the Roadrunner is caricatured by a popular cartoon character, the adversary of a coyote, who continually outsmarts the animal!
