In this episode of Animal Super Senses, we find out more about animals that have their feet firmly planted on or under the ground and find out how their senses are tuned to survive. What we see above the ground is only a small part of the natural world, a busy, complex web of life lies just beneath our feet. Fossorial animals are well adapted to life underground. They live in burrows, tunnels, and mounds using the earth, or whatever substrate they live in, to build their homes, find their food and friends, and stay safe from enemies. Species include: Wombat, Taipan, Short-beaked Echidna, Huntsmen Spider, and Brush Turkey.
