Now a new video clip released online shows the very same scenario that inspired the cartoons - an actual real-life coyote pursing a real-life roadrunner across the desert floor.
It was filmed by Michael Bogan - a professor of wildlife biology at the University of Arizona - on May 9th along the Santa Cruz River in downtown Tuscon.
"There is literally a coyote chasing a roadrunner," he said.
"I can't believe it. That is a straight up cartoon."
Just like in the cartoons, the coyote ultimately fails to apprehend the roadrunner, however it does at least manage to avoid falling off a cliff, being run over by a truck or blowing itself up with dynamite.
You can check out the clip for yourself below.
