Roadrunner vs Rattlesnake

[@killer92173]

Fun fact: A Roadrunner's diet is of lizards, small rodents, and even snakes. I live in Arizona, and at my work, we always have a local Roadrunner that likes to chill around the area. One time, i saw it with a large lizard in its mouth, and it ran into the desert where i assumed it ate its lunch. They're beautiful birds, and great hunters!!

[@lrvracer3515]

They can also grow really large. Most people don’t realize how big Road Runners are until they can see one up close.

[@infledermaus]

You notice how it jumps and .o es constantly, flaring its wings and tail? Darker plummage heats up and rattlers are heat seekers, put vipers. It's also a distraction, making itself look much larger. There is a video, I think it's on here, but I'm not sure, of a guy in Texas, I think, who rehab'd animals and gad experience with RRs.

I hike up Griffith Park about 5 days a week, but I'm from Ohio and never saw rattlesnakes until now (I see them constantly). The more I learn about them, the less they seem like monsters and the more they seem like terrified food... food for coyotes, hawks, owls, other snakes, and even roadrunners. And they've only got one weapon (their bite), but it can only go up to 2/3 the length of their body, many animals have developed some immunity, and when they launch and miss, they're totally vulnerable. Not very high on the food chain after all.

[@mandowarrior123]

Snakes have very limited energy, ambush predators that feed rarely and digest slowly. The mongoose, meerkats likewise tire them out first. Humans are actually the apex endurance predators. Early human hunting was primarily tracking, animal runs away startled, human follows. Humans walk efficiently, which is due to our massive glutes and bipedal movement. This is why humans need to wipe after the toilet actually, as our butts are overdeveloped. Human success isn't actually much to do with opposable thumbs or brains much (our brains developed due to tracking needs, deductive reasoning etc.) I think ostriches are the only things capable of out enduring humans on land. But we can eat their eggs easy. After we got the spear, well, predators are on the menu. Humans can actually do this snake baiting too with their hands, but not much eating on a snake to be worth developing the skill. I seem to remember people still did it, with defanged snakes to practice. Documentary in the 90s though, might not have been accurate, or my memory thereof.

the roadrunner wins every time, ma'am :^D

[@Charon58]

The rattler doesn't have much endurance and caught out in the sun cannot control his body temperature. So he gets sluggish. The bird can keep at him until he wins. Notice how cautious the bird is in the beginning until the snake tires.

[@Skerboysweet]

anni dee what state do you live? We don't road get runners where I live.. rattlesnakes yes... sadly I'm sure it keeps the population down having road runners around

[@annidee]

Arizona, near the border of Ca Az & Nv. Saw 2 roadrunners yesterday on our front porch, next to 2 chuckwallas! It looked like the birds were fixing to possibly eat one or both the chuckwallas, so I scared them off 😐

[@markdaniel8740]

anni dee I'm in Mohave Valley, many road runners around. don't feed them. human food lacks what they need and a bird with a full belly doesn't need to hunt. our maybe they are filling up in quail.

[@backyrdbully3276]

Roadrunner said I have kids to feed 😂😂😂😂😂

[@zevoni]

That's one bad ass bird 😎

[@judyscheiber3661]

No. Just not real smart.

[@salimahmad7414]

This is one of the footages which are rare to be seen. Thanks.

The first time I HAVE seen a real road runner I know you are going to laugh at me for saying this go ahead nut I thought the ROAD RUNNER WAS ONLY A CARTOON CHARACTER. DUM DEE DUM DUM ME.

[@kaylabrewer8748]

Yea, I just saw one in real life. Never thought they actually existed... Now I'm here

[@ianosborne188]

#Me too.. 😂@bird brain. Commie.

[@panchopuskas1]

@Galaxia X .....wow.....didn't know they could drive.....lol

[@FuzzyWuzzy75]

At the end the road runner is like "Guys... can I have some privacy while I eat? SHOW'S OVER FELLAS!!!"

[@joshmccalip6053]

Go Roadrunner! Meep meep!

[@jameswills4962]

I guess the bird mother forgot to tell him not to play with your food.

[@borismex]

Wow... I always thought roadrunners ate plants or only some worms... but not this kind of worms! Cool video!

[@brendaboyd7987]

Yes lots of worms in the parched habitat of the roadrunner.

[@borismex]

Hahaha... Yes I know it sounds stupid, but that was my thought as a kid!

[@Tatusiek_1]

borismex birds don't eat plants, most herbivore ones eat fruit and nuts, and a lot eat insects and worms and arachnids a few eat larger animals like mice sometimes bigger

[@LuisSanchez-dk7ne]

borismex these here worms are called biteworms...

[@anamericantoreview1132]

borismex I chop the head off of a gardener snake that was over a foot long and fed it to one of my hens she got that thing down like it was a worm but I never saw her eating a worm again

[@cartapax5077]

Both: look, mom, no hands.
