Roadrunner 16 Ounce Mug
This mug is far more than your plain ol' coffee mug! Besides the beautiful, wrap-around pictures of Roadrunners in their native habitat, this mug contains so much information about these birds that it might as well double as an encyclopedia entry! Here is a sample of the text found on the mug: Roadrunners Prey Upon Rattlesnakes Because of its lightning quickness, the Roadrunner is one of a few animals that is able to prey upon rattlesnakes. Using its wings like a cape, it snaps up a rattlesnake by the tail, cracks it like a whip and repeatedly slams the snake's head upon the ground until dead. Also in the Roadrunner's diet are insects, scorpions, lizards, rodents and even other birds. Roadrunners Rarely Fly When the Roadrunner senses danger or is traveling downhill, it flies, but cannot keep its large body airborne for more than a few seconds. The Roadrunner (Geococcyx californianus) The Roadrunner is a member of the Cuckoo Family, and can be found throughout the Mojave, Sonoran, and Chihuahuan deserts of the Southwestern United States. It ranges in length from 20 to 24 inches, and in height from 10 to 12 inches. Roadrunners prefer walking or running and attain speeds of up to 17 miles per hour. The printing on this mug is accomplished using dye sublimation technology, ensuring excellent durability and amazing detail. The mug holds sixteen ounces of coffee so that you can go almost as fast as a Roadrunner yourself! Item Number: RRMUG Price: $11.95 Out of Stock |
