Road Runner

The ROADRUNNER is a ground dwelling cuckoo that lives in cactus and mesquite areas, feeding on crickets. Though it can fly, it relies almost completely on its running speed, which can reach 18 mph. The Roadrunner’s tail works like a giant air brake, allowing the roadrunner to stop and change directions rapidly. The roadrunner totem represents mental speed and agility, indicating a person whose mind is always working, able to change directions and adapt ideas easily when situations require it.
