Roadrunners The Science of Birds
-
- Nature
This episode is all about the bird species in the genus Geococcyx. There are only two: the Greater Roadrunner and the Lesser Roadrunner.
People in North America have revered the Greater Roadrunner for thousands of years. This bird features prominently in Native American and Mexican legends and lore. It’s usually depicted in a good light. Roadrunners are bold, clever, and fast—all admirable characteristics.
They’re also large and conspicuous birds, so it’s not surprising that more than one culture has paid them some special attention.
Learn about the key traits of roadrunners and their habitats, diet, and breeding.
