The Greater Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) is a large bird found in the southwestern United States and Mexico. They are also known as the chaparral cock, ground cuckoo, and snake killer. They are the largest member of the cuckoo family and known for their long legs, tail, and sharp beak. The roadrunner walks, runs and only flies when necessary. They have a distinctive, elongated tail and a large head with a sharp, curved beak. They have a mottled plumage of brown, black, and white, which provides camouflage in their desert and scrubland habitats. Greater Roadrunners are found in a wide variety of habitats, including deserts, scrublands, and woodlands. They are known for their ability to survive in harsh, arid conditions, and they are able to tolerate high temperatures and low humidity. Greater Roadrunners are opportunistic predators and feed on a wide variety of prey, including insects, spiders, lizards, snakes, rodents, and small birds. They are known to be able to kill venomous snakes, such as rattlesnakes and copperheads, by striking them with their beak. They also forage for food on the ground, and they are known to run at high speeds to catch prey. Greater Roadrunners are a symbol of the American Southwest and are a popular subject of southwestern folklore and cartoons. This Greater Roadrunner was photographed at Lost Dutchman State Park near Apache Junction, Arizona, USA.

Small bird, its average size is 21.5 to 28.5 cm (males) and 22 to 25 cm (females). It weighs between 110 and 285 g (males) and between 150 and 265 g (females). It has a round head, without plumes and the eyes are arranged side by side, in the same plane. The eyebrows are white and the eyes are yellow. The coloration is earthy, mimetic, and may present plumage in rusty tones caused by purple earth soils (adventitious coloration). Unlike most owls, the male is slightly larger than the female and females are normally darker than males, particularly on the face. It has a smooth and silent flight. She has to turn her neck, because her big eyes are arranged side by side in the same plane. This frontal arrangement gives the owl binocular vision (it sees an object with both eyes at the same time). This means that the owl can see objects in three dimensions, that is, height, width and depth. The eyes of the burrowing owl are very large, in some subspecies of owls they are even larger than the brain itself, in order to improve its efficiency in low light conditions, better capturing and processing the available light.
