roadrunner
Swift ground cuckoo
A roadrunner is a ground-dwelling bird of the American Southwest and Mexico, known for running swiftly rather than flying.
It preys on lizards, snakes, and insects.
The bird's distinctive appearance and speed made it the model for the Looney Tunes character who perpetually eludes Wile E.
Coyote.
