Snuffling Sengi

Piotr Naskrecki's Image

A rarely seen four-toed sengi forages for food among the leaf litter in Mozambique.

Sengis mainly eat insects and look for their prey at dusk and dawn. They rely on a combination of good vision and excellent sense of smell to find food.

Piotr watched this sengi over several weeks in Gorongosa National Park, Mozambique. It followed the same network of trails every day, looking for beetles and other tasty morsels among the leaf litter.

Sengis are extremely shy and skittish, so Piotr set up a remote camera to photograph the little creature sniffing for food.
