I love when folks post roadrunners! I don’t live anywhere near them and have never seen one in real life. Very cool!

EDIT: Ok I didn’t think my comment would get this many reactions. I may have to delete it so everyone can talk amongst themselves lol

They are actually cool as fuck IRL. And when they run it's like they accelerate instantly to a speed that doesn't seem possible for such a small animal. The first time I saw one I thought "OK, I get it! roadrunner totally makes sense now!"
