The Roadrunner is uniquely suited to a desert environment by a number of physiological and behavioral adaptations
- Its carnivorous habits offer it a large supply of very moist food
- It reabsorbs water from its feces before excretion
- A nasal gland eliminates excess salt, instead of using the urinary tract like most birds
- It reduces its activity 50% during the heat of midday
- Its extreme quickness allows it to snatch a humming bird or dragonfly from midair.
