The roadrunner is a desert dweller that conserves energy during cold nights by lowering its body temperature slightly by entering into a torpor, a state of partially suspended mental and physical activity similar to hibernation. The roadrunner exposes dark patches of skin on its back to the sun to warm itself for normal daily activity. Although it can be a fast runner, the roadrunner saves energy by hunting most of its prey by ambush from a place of concealment.
