If you are one of those people that thought road runners say "Beep Beep" only because of Wile E. Coyote and the Road Runner, I wouldn't believe a TV show where somebody can survive accidental falls from high heights, doesn't fall to the ground until he notices he's suspended in mid-air, and survives the kind of injuries he survives.

We just saw our local roadrunner come for a visit again to get water here in the Nevada desert. Glad to learn that they eat rattlesnakes. Twice in 2 weeks, I encountered them in the front of the house. They often seek shade under a rock or under something lying on the ground. I'm learning to keep things picked up!

I was down in Campo California which sits right on the border with Mexico. The three of us wandered into the desert and wandered into Mexico. Each of us was armed, - each with an entirely different weapon. For a very dry Sagebrush-like environment the number of different animals was amazing. Out in front of me on the ground - at some distance was some bird 😐, - a big bird. But upon approaching it - it simply didn't fly, fly away, or anything. But man could that thing move. 20 miles per hour ? Not even. But I will say that I swear, it acted just like Roadrunner. Statue-still one second, - and - 'FLASH' like a camera-flash - like, zero to sixty in a second, that's right - just like the cartoon.

Coyotes often fall off cliffs or have huge rocks fall on them when chasing roadrunners. The coyotes are always OK though. Coyotes can travel faster than roadrunners, especially if the coyotes are using rockets or other gadgets from the ACME Company.
