How did the roadrunner get its name you asses?

The roadrunner got its name from its distinctive behavior and habitat. These birds are known for their fast running abilities, often seen sprinting across roads in the southwestern United States and Mexico, hence the name "roadrunner." The name reflects both their speed and their association with open, arid environments near roads. Additionally, their scientific name, Geococcyx, translates to "earth cuckoo," further emphasizing their ground-dwelling habits.
