The greater roadrunner reduces excess heat by the formation of water vapor, released by breathing or through the skin. [37] It sometimes pants in heavy heat to accelerate this action. [38] At night, it reduces its energy expenditure by more than 30 percent, lowering its body temperature from 104 to 93 °F (40 to 34 °C). [39]
