Native Americans revered the roadrunner for its speed, strength, and especially its courage. What are your thoughts on this roadrunner's attempt at a meal?
I love national geographic
i dont know
@Mark Thomas catching animals in the middle of face-off is not an easy-peasy task and I think around 90% percent of wildlife videos are either edited or enemies are put together against their wills to shoot those scenes. So, most probably you're right about it being fake :)
You can see the mesoic in his eyes.

Wait a minute. I watched this whole video and never once heard a "beep beep"
I think that's only when he outsmarts the coyote! :)
@@brendaleake fake news
It's Beep Beep
@@jeffreywilliams8499 Thanks captain obvious. That's exactly what an ableist would say. I am sorry that I was deaf as a child and could only read lips. I am sorry that I thought it was saying meep meep. Thanks for showing your hearing superiority.
LOL
Snake: I’ll kill you!
Roadrunner: Beep Beep
Yeah
its meep meep but i’ll let it slide
then dashes off like Forrest Gump
Bird seed 😋😋😋
@@kwookiegaming508 🤣🤣🤣
The way the roadrunner shook after hearing the snake rattle was hilarious at 1:55
It was considering retreating
That was.. well, anticlimactic. Still, the roadrunner has some serious confidence and courage.
Astute comment lady
Azliana Lyana : I didn’t see the Roadrunner kill the snake
Azliana Lyana Roadrunners are bullies lol anytime I’ve see them kill a snake it’s tiny.This one was pretty big for a Western DB.
My sentiments exactly!!!...😯
To be honest, that roadrunner is so courageous.
Today I learned: roadrunners aren’t just on the cartoons
Miss Pocket wait til you come across a jackalope
Miss Pocket what kind of dogs are those?
Miss pocket wait till you come across a cantaloupe. It's a jackalopes cousin.
Angela Johnson don’t forget the brother with the positive attitude canalope
@@clearingbaffles or a snipe
The roadrunner usually extends its wing to the snake and as the snake strikes, it quickly folds it back until it tires the snake, then goes in for the kill. They are usually successful at making a meal of the rattlers.
How come the Roadrunner doesn't die from digesting the venom snake? 😬
@@AwesomeBlackDude The bird makes sure the snake is dead before swallowing it and any venom released by the snake is neutralized by powerful stomach acids. The venom is only dangerous if injected into the circulatory system.
@@elppedro77 Thank, got it. 😬
@@AwesomeBlackDude I don't think it works if you swallow it? It probably has to go into your blood. Your stomach acids will just kill it probably??
I live on a ranch in south Texas...I see both nearly every day. The roadrunner is an amazing creature!
@panfriedd look at her 'about', she aint lying
But does anyone really care
Up north you see nothing cool, I’ve seen the occasional opossum and porcupine but nothing can compare to a roadrunner
Long live
Texas
IntrepidFraidyCat have you seen a Roadrunner being hunted by a Coyote?
2:21 they're just spritzing it with water to make it look like it dodging a rattler. 🤣🤣
That was rattlesnake venom.
It is water actually...because these scenes are shot a different times and arrange like a movie.
hahahahaha true
I saw that too.
Yea bc notice how not in one single scene the bird and the snake are in frame together
Meanwhile Willie coyote gets upset his acme snake didn't worked as always
*Wile E. Coyote.
@Austin Texas the coyote can't win because if he does then they get swed
Meep meep
@@ascetic3312 he cant eat Roadrunners in real life.
His Acme Snake would end up eating him instead of Road Runner
That was an epic battle of survival. It looks so simple fight but it actually involves lives.
Wow it'll view a rattler as a meal, but it'll lead a coyote on a high speed chase on the desert floor.
Legs and knows how to use them! This narrator must be a ZZ top fan.
Along with the 20 (19 thumbs up plus you) of us
I can tell this roadrunner has some survival skills, he's got endurance
Why does this look like footage yall tied together and said what ever you wanted to was going on🤣🤣🤣
As someone who has witnessed such a faceoff, it happens fast enough you'd need a dozen cameras to see it in to.
because thats exactly what they did
at the end the snake is heading away towards the brush, but in the next scene with the snake it is disappearing into the cactus which doesn't tie in with the previous scene
🤣😂🤦♂️😄
That coyote sure has alot of costumes
You know that a coyote can run a lot faster than a road runner!
But he can't fly.
alot?
I have a roadrunner around my property and he seems to enjoy stealing my lizards 🦎. These guys are fearless. I found him on my two story roof having a dialogue with some terrified blue jays 🌝
BE WARNED FOLKS! The so called 'Face off' is no face off just some sneaky editing.
Roadrunners are no joke to go head to head with this deadly 🐍.
The way the roadrunner shook after hearing the snake rattle was hilarious
I've lived in Phoenix all my life and we're lucky enough to have these super-cool birds here.
Most people don't realize (I didn't until I saw one do it) is that road runners can fly. Not just glide from a higher point to lower; powered inclined flight.
I'm disappointed. I thought the roadrunner was going to have his dinner.
Yes. Click bait National Geographic
How dare they put click bait !!!
1:42 when you expect the meep meep sound
This would have been much more interesting if the rattler had access to the Acme catalogue of anvils, catapults and cannons…
and, uh, mail
It is like the behavior of this bird is directly link to the velociraptors.
Meep Meep!😃
No. It’s beep beep
It’s meep Meep
@@paulwilson3434 b/meep
Meep Meep!
I saw my first roadrunners a week before the shutdown at wild horse pass in Arizona. What a beautiful place to enjoy the desert. I think roadrunner might be my spirit animal. ❤
My kind of roadrunner is the one from Warner Bros. who says, "BEEP! BEEP!"
Honey Badger: "Hold my beer"
😆
"But she's missing something in this booming faceoff...Legs."
I guess a rattle snake can fly.
I like it when it's a draw. All animals are unique in their own way.
Well, I guess I've wasted two minutes and fifty seven seconds in worse ways, but a waste is a waste...
I love how you can't see them both in a single frame. 🌚
Who threw water at the bird in the end tho? *tacky but hilarious touch to make it look real* 😂
😂😂😂😂
A two part series.! Shot on location.! With stunt doubles.!
At 1:28 and 1:52
The snake was trying to get the Camara guy, and when the bird dodges, it was dodging the water that was thrown towards it by the Camara crew. Wow lol
Who else is here from the Joe Rogan short? Lol
I am
Snake: I can't stop him!!!
Coyote: First time?
Ah yes, the magic of video editing...
I don't know that it was a real fight. I never saw them dodge each other. Strange video.
2:21 was the water sprayed for choreography? Lol
Growing up in California road runners where common place and I personally love them
I live in New Mexico and see roadrunners almost daily but less often in the winter. They are incredible hunters and are used to humans in our area. You can get somewhat close to them before they run off. They can fly but rarely do and they do not fly high. Their specialty to dine on are lizards where I live. They make a funny noise and you know they are nearby.
@ I saw one last year catch a HUGE lizard and it was showing it off to my neighbors and me as we were talking out front. It was like showing us what a skilled hunter it is and it was fairly close to us near the sidewalk. But the most memorable incident for me was a roadrunner that killed a small bird and was in the process of eating it. I surprised it near my front door and it left the bird while it ran for cover under a nearby shrub. And believe it or not, it did NOT leave its kill behind! I stood still and it ran behind me TWICE to try to get to the carcass before running back under the shrub. But on the THIRD try, it ran behind me, grabbed the carcass and then ran away. That roadrunner must have been hungry and it had courage to do what it did with me right near its kill. I will never forget that roadrunner moment.
@ You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed my roadrunner stories.
Interesting, Doug. that's the NICE thing about the internet being able to share in experiences from distant lands. Sand Hill cranes here in FL will walk right up to us IF we're seated and remain non-threatening. the species that lives here does not migrate so we have them all year. they're much like road runners EXCEPT when they do fly they're beautiful. they mate for life so they're almost always in pairs full time and they're some of the highest flying birds in the world. they spend almost all of their time walking around though because nothing messes with them, not even dogs much less cats. I've never seen them run though. lazy birds, I guess!
Snake was attacking on camera but they showed like there was tussle between two creatures.
I liked it when national geographic didn't just take 2 different clips of predator and prey and edit them together
Come back to me when you have one of a roadrunner versus cyote.
A another awesome video never seems to amaze me y'all do an awesome job thank you again thank you National Geographics
2:21 through 2:22. Please help me to understand what I know you'll notice.
Fico feliz por ter esses vídeos para o aprendizado e também pelo fato de conhecer animais nativos de uma outra nação. Um abraço fraterno. Muito obrigado.
The high cut rate/extreme close-up style of videography on display here has me suspecting nothing the video implied actually happened between the Rattler and the Runner in fact.
joe rogan what have you done to me😂
2:21 production failed...
What is that 😂
@@ohno486 water the crew used to make the roadrunner move.
@@groowanderer ahh I see. Thanks!
First time I saw a roadrunner out in the wild all my childhood memories of the coyote come rushing to me.
I love National Geographic and I think this is the first time that I've given one of their video clips a thumbs down. This was click-bait and I'm sure that many, and I say many, were awaiting the outcome of this battle for life or death between these two hungry critters. I was really disappointed. And, as others have stated, these scenes seemed to have been prefabricated to look like they were in a fight. Any one agree?
True
They are set up. Yes. You can even see one clip of the roadrunner at the end where someone throws water at the bird, your guess is good as mine🤷♂️
2:21 throwing water to make it look like he's dodging the snake.
Dang! I wanted that Roadrunner to have it's way with that serpent...
They usually do have their way with them.!
The french version of this video mentions Looney Tune's Beep Beep, you know, cause he's a road runner.
Haruna Drunkards
Hearing the Gamble's Quail shouting "Hey!" the whole time this has got to be in Arizona lol
2:21 is the best part of it🤣
What kind of face off is this , Nat Geo❓
I want a Victor❗️
Better than Logan Paul vs KSI!
There's 3 minutes of my life I'll never get back
That was terrible, I was expecting a BBC type of video and instead it was a Mutual of Omaha
I d like to send your guys off crying Rafael Martinez I am strong as an ox I d like to body slam your guys and I know how to do it you guys would n t want to know just how physical I can be
This notification interrupted me from watching Old Town Road
I don’t mean to be that person, but does the roadrunner make the “meep meep” sound? 😭
Sadly, no... It's just the Looney Tunes one
No wonder Wile E couldn’t catch him. One badass SOB.
I love how the snake and the roadrunner are never on screen at the same time
Feisty and courageous little bird
Plot twist: Wile. E. Coyote was the cameraman for this video
LMAO
I love your animal and culture videos. I just wish they was at least 5 -10mins.
That meep meep at the end 😂😂
Yeah no car like a Mopar Roadrunner versus a found on road dead snake! You got that Ford cobra!
A draw? What the heck, the reason I don’t watch soccer is because there are too many draws and now this!!!
I love the subtle ZZ TOPP reference!
These people have the patience of a saint...
I've watched them out at Fort Erwin when I was in the Army. The roadrunner has some serious G.I. Joe Kungfu Skills and a wicked karate chop kick! I've witnessed in person. Down with the rattlesnake long live the roadrunner. BEEP! BEEP!
I'm guessing this 1:19 is where Hollywood gets it stalking raptors movements considering it was said that birds was part of its family at some point.
Birds are closest living relative to dinosaurs
@@briantannenbaum8110 birds themselves are dinos, not close relatives
Hes got legs "and he knows how to use them" lol😆
Both running perfect camouflage 👌🏻😎
the sound is so awesome
Road Runner, if he catches you you’re through!
I live in Southern Arizona where there are coyotes and roadrunners. Just to set the record straight: 1. A coyote can outrun a roadrunner. 2. I've never seen a coyote go after a roadrunner. Coyotes prefer easier prey, such as rabbits or ground squirrels, which are not capable of tearing their eyes out with their beak or ripping their face to shreds with razor sharp talons. I am not saying it has never occurred, but roadrunners are WAY down the list of things for a coyote to eat.
You can see the water on the ground @2:22 they threw to make the roadrunner hop around. These animals were very clearly not interacting with each other and were filmed seperately.
Very cool. Enjoyed that, but the roadrunner didn't say "meep, meep" like I expected.
_Wile E. Coyote has left the chat_
And from the fight we saw....NOTHING. Probaly filmed in a studio.
Everybody is gansta, until Road Runner meep meeps on you.
All that dramatics & narration for the snake gets away
Jamás pensé que este pajarito desafiara a una cascabel. Wooooow. 😁
La velocidad del correcaminos podra esquivar el ataque de una vibora de cascabel?
Lol roadrunner, you forgot to use your acme flying dynamite🤣
Gabrielle Beatrice Ross hahaha Gabby 💕
@@lisag5670 😂😘
No meep meep? 😞
I can see how the new raptors on prehistoric planet inspired the looks hahaha
Beep Beep 😂
A moment of silence for us who thought the snake will be eaten by the bird
*The audience is on the edge of their seats as the snake strikes in this dramatic animal fight!*
Finally I can see roadrunner fight back instead of running away
Road runner ! Tha coyote after you.!Road runner if it catches u you're through.! Meek.!meek.!
*BEEP-BEEP!*
What's up with the splash of water at 2:21 that lands at the birds feet?
Snake should have ordered some products from the ACME Company.
How do you guys even find these situations
@Olwydd Both are paid actors, that's for sure
Cameras everywhere
Olwydd oh very cool
Powerful lens To watch from a distance
it was a reenactment with paid actors. nothing legit about it
I wanna see a vid where the roadrunner actually bashes the snake's skull in .....
No show down, what a tease.
Being in Arizona I've seen plenty of Roadrunners, but I never knew they got up in trees.
