How do kiwis hunt?

Kiwi are omnivorous, but they do eat some smaller creatures. They hunt earthworms, insect larvae and other invertebrates. They have been known to hunt and eat eels, freshwater crayfish, small lizards and even frogs. The kiwi is unique in having its nostrils located at the tip of the beak, and it has a very highly developed sense of smell, being able to smell out food beneath the surface of the ground. Kiwi will dig their beaks into the ground to a depth that extends the entire length of the bill in order to hunt out earthworms and other invertebrates.
