Ahh, the Greater Roadrunner, or as they’re known in more “scientific” circles as Tastyus Supersonicus. These desert dwelling birds can outrun humans (and the occasional cartoon-based coyote), kill & eat rattlesnakes, and get some of their water by eating moisture-rich prey. They hold a special place in tribal lore, and the X-shaped mark their footprint makes is used as a sacred symbol by Pueblo tribes to ward off evil. ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #shannoneagleart #tinyworksofart #birdwhisperers #bird #birding #audubonsociety #nationalaudobonsociety #birb #birdsofinstagram #roadrunner #roadrunners #greaterroadrunner #saturdaymorningcartoons #art #nature #fauna #instagood #natureart #painting #acrylic #acrylicpainting #wileycoyote
