er?
- Over there.
- Quick, he's the fastest running bird in North America.
- We better get a close look at him before he races off.
- The roadrunner is a bird born to run.
- [Chris] Ah, everything about him looks fast.
- [Martin] He has a long neck.
- And a long tail that balance him perfectly over those long legs, and when he runs, he can stretch out like an arrow.
- When a roadrunner stretches out those long legs in a running stride, he can cover three times his body length, with each stride.
- His feet have claws that dig into the desert turf, giving him traction for explosive speed.
- [Martin] And when he's done fluffing up those head feathers, he can tuck them down aerodynamically.
A racer all the way.
There he goes.
- But where'd he go?
- That's one of the problems with trying to keep up with a lightning fast birdy.
- He's gone in a flash.
