Roadrunner

The roadrunner is a bird also known as the "Chaparral Cock" in Texas.

The roadrunner gets its moisture largely from its omnivorous diet, which includes lizards and small rattlesnakes.

The only living things we met upon these llanos were the jack rabbits and an occasional roadrunner, which birds were very tame.

Just then one of my eyes saw a roadrunner skipping down the hill with a young tarantula in his bill, and the other eye noticed a rabbit-hawk sitting on a dead limb in a water-elm.

The Chihuahuan Desert is the largest ecosystem in the park. Eighty percent of the park is desert. Animals like jackrabbits, roadrunner birds and mule deer live in the Chihuahuan. Many cactus and yucca species thrive. These are succulent plants. Most succulents have thick, heavy leaves that store water. Cacti store water in their stems.
