Roadrunners are desert birds known for their excellent speed.
Rattlesnakes are highly venomous creatures that attack and kill their prey with fast-acting venom.
Roadrunners typically weigh between 221 and 538 grams and measure 52 to 62 cm in length. Their wingspan ranges from 43 to 61 cm.
Rattlesnakes range from about 3 to 7 feet in length and can weigh between 2.7 kg to 6.7 kg.
Roadrunner birds can run between 15 mph and 26 mph, only over short distances.
Rattlesnakes are only capable of slithering at 2-3 mph. Some species can move at speeds over 15 mph.
Roadrunners have a long, sharp beak, helps them grab and eat prey after pecking it or holding it while they smack it into the ground.
Rattlesnakes are ambush predators; they can hide well, have an amazingly quick striking speed, making it tough for many creatures to dodge their attacks.
The roadrunner's speed and agility give it an edge over a snake, making it likely to win in a fight, though not an entirely guaranteed win.
