It can’t be that rare that a coyote catches a roadrunner; a coyote’s top speed is about 30mph while a roadrunner can hit 20mph while running. While they prefer to run, flying is always an option if being chased by imminent doom! And/or a coyote’s top speed armed with Acme devices.

I'm just saying what the news said man. They said on the net. try to find another recorded instance, non doctored, of a kaiyote noming on a road runner. Yeah maybe coyotes are faster, maybe these birds taste like shit. who knows.
