The greater roadrunner is often seen on roads, as its name implies, and runs rapidly away if disturbed. It inhabits the semi-arid open country of the southwestern USA, and feeds on ground-dwelling insects, which it kills by a sudden pounce on the prey.

Crested North American ground-dwelling bird Geococcyx californianus of the cuckoo family, found in the southwestern USA and Mexico. It can run at a speed of 25 kph/15 mph.
