The roadrunner lives in the desert of the southwestern United States and northern MexicoIt is a birdbut it can only fly about as much as a chicken canPeople gave it its name because they usually see it running across a roadbutof courseit spends more time among the plants of the desert than it does on roads

The roadrunner is quite a largebird--about 45 cm long and 25 highPeople laugh when it runs because it looks so funnyIt takes long steps and can run 30 kilometers an hour

It eats many different kinds ~f foodAlthough it eats plants once in a whileit is mostly a meat eaterMost of its diet is insectsbut it also catches birdsmice and other small animalsIt is so brave that it even dare catch snakes and black spiders

In the springa male roadrunner begins looking for a female as a mateWhen he finds onehe gives her presents--a snake to eat or a branch to use in building a nestThen they build their nestthe female lays eggsand they raise their young

In cold winter the roadrunner has an unusual way of keeping warmIn the early morningthe roadrunner stands with its back to the sunIt holds out its wings and lifts the feathers on its upper backThere is a small dark round area on the skin tinder these feathers and it collects heat from the sun and warms its bodyUnlike most birdsit doesn't need to use a lot of energy to keep warm
