Road Runner

Road Runner

If you come across the comic book about Wile.E.Coyote and Roadrunner, please do take the time to read it. It is a most enjoyable comic about a clever coyote who is always trying to capture a cleverer roadrunner. The roadrunner of course says ‘BeepBeep’ and escapes again and again, leaving the poor coyote caught in his own trap!

The roadrunner is a bird belonging to the cuckoo family. It is also called a ‘chaparral cock’. It is a ground running bird. It has a large, slender body and has a distinctive crest on its head. It has a big beak. It has long legs with four toes on each foot. Two toes face forward and two face backward. So when the roadrunner runs it leaves ‘X’ marks on the ground.
