Roadrunner: Livin Creature Style

50s

Chris measures how fast the roadrunner runs and concludes that it is one of the fastest running birds in the world. Martin and Chris take a look at the roadrunner's aerodynamic posture as it runs, stretching its body out but keeping his head down, which makes the bros think the roadrunner can't see where it's going. They worry it will run into a cactus but it flies up onto it at the last second.
