Greater Roadrunner
Why can you never trust atoms?
They make up everything!
Interesting Fact: Roadrunners have evolved a range of adaptations to deal with the extremes of desert living. Like seabirds, they secrete a solution of highly concentrated salt through a gland just in front of each eye, which uses less water than excreting it via their kidneys and urinary tract. Moisture-rich prey including mammals and reptiles supply them otherwise-scarce water in their diet. Both chicks and adults flutter the unfeathered area beneath the chin (gular fluttering) to dissipate heat. ( https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Greater_Roadrunner/overview )
I used to watch a cartoon in which they had a roadrunner, never saw in real ever. Interesting trivia!!
Was that the Warner Bros. cartoon The Road Runner and the coyote? If so I used to watch that all the time. Thank you very much for stopping by and sharing your thoughts with us. Happy Blogging! 🙂

Interesting! Lizards and turtles, frogs and salamanders, also flutter their gular areas. I’ve always wondered why they do that.
