What is the scientific name for a roadrunner?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Geococcyx californianus is their scientific name.

Roadrunners eat a number of lizards, snakes, scorpions, centipedes, mice, and insects. They will even eat Rattlesnakes! Eating meat allows the Roadrunner to extract a large amount of water from its food. During the winter, Roadrunners will sometimes eat vegetation when food is scarce. Roadrunners are so fast that they can even eat hummingbirds that they steal from the air, and quick-striking rattlesnakes! They can also run at speeds of up to 17 miles per hour! These birds prefer to run rather than fly, and in desert areas of North America they may be a common sight, dashing across fields and roads. Generally, Roadrunners are found in desert scrubland or arid flatlands. When startled, it may take wing and fly for a short while. Roadrunners make cooing noises, usually about six or eight coos in succession, that lower in pitch. They can also make a chattering noise. When the sun is hottest, around mid day, the Roadrunner is less active. Roadrunners build shallow nests of sticks, usually locating them in bushes, cacti, or trees. Usually, they live between seven and eight years.

When full grown, a Roadrunner is about 22 inches long and has a long tail with graduating feathers. The tails are carried at an upward angle and are used for balance while running. Roadrunners are often about a foot high. Unlike other birds, Roadrunners usually excrete salt through their nasal glands rather than through their urinary tracts. Roadrunners have long bills, their feathers are mottled black and white and their tails have white tips. The Roadrunner is also characterized by a distinctive crest. Like all birds of the Cuckoo family, the Roadrunner has two forward facing toes and two backward facing toes. Its legs are strong and long. Its wings are short and rounded, and Roadrunners are too heavy to fly for long distances.

The Roadrunner is native to the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. It is also known as the Chaparral Cock. Roadrunners have disappeared from some parts of their ranges. Today, the Roadrunner is caricatured by a popular cartoon character, the adversary of a coyote, who continually outsmarts the animal!

Road Trip Ready

Going on a road trip with the whole family doesn't have to be a dreaded vacation. The key to a family road trip is planning. Consider three things when planning the trip: what to bring, how to get there and what to see along the way.

What to Bring

Snacks

Snacks can include pretzels, fruit, crackers, juice, and granola bars. Include foods that are easy to hold and you don't have to worry about spilling.

Water

Water is important to keep everyone hydrated, especially when it is very hot out. In addition, having water bottles in the trunk will help you save money on beverages and reduce your number of drink stops.

Moist towelettes

These are perfect for sticky hands, emergency bathroom breaks, and spills.

Plastic Bags

Plastic bags are great for keeping trash confined. When you stop at for a break, toss the trash bag and start a new one. This is a good way of keeping the car from accumulating piles of trash.

Travel Games

Research and plan some travel games for the ride. Eye Spy, The License Plate game, and I am Going On a Trip are three perfect standbys.

Activities

Put together a bag of activities for each child. They should be activities the kids have never seen before. Limit the new activities to one an hour. Include a disposable camera for each child. They can take pictures of the places they visit and write about them in a journal.

Music

Provide a variety of music for all tastes. It is also fun to include some great sing-a-long songs in the mix. For younger children, include can be nursery rhymes and, for older kids, play theme songs from their favorite television show or sing 99 bottles of Beer on the Wall. Include calm, peaceful music for when you want the kids to settle or rest.

Map Copies

Make copies of maps with the route highlighted for each child to have. It is a good opportunity for children to practice valuable map reading skills. Also, maps help with the age old question of “Are we there yet?”

Stash the Cash

Do not rely solely on credit cards and debit cards. It is a good idea to stash some emergency cash in the car and suitcase in case your card is lost or stolen or if you go somewhere where plastic is not accepted.

Medication

Along with a first aid kit, remember to bring medication for you and your family.

How You're Getting There

Car Maintenance

Keep t

ire pressure at 30-32 psi so that you can get up to five percent increase in miles per gallon. Check all water and fluid reservoirs to make sure they are full. Also, get an oil change before heading out on the road.

Map It Out

Map out your trip before leaving. Plan rest stops along the way to let everyone stretch and use the restroom. With children, it is a good idea to plan on stopping every two to three hours. Also, if you have brought an ice chest eat your meals at rest stops to avoid costly restaurants, unhealthy fast food and messes in the car.

What to See Along the Way

Spend some time researching the cities you will be traveling to or going through. When children have some background knowledge of the places they will be seeing, their experience can be much more rewarding and rich.

With a little planning, a road trip can be a memorable experience that families will look back upon as a cherished memory.
