I would think that ground vibrations and smell would play a part in this. A lot of ground dwelling and burrowing animals are very sencitive to ground vibrations. It helps them find specific food that out of site and alerts them of approaching preditors, and they know exactly whats what based on specific vibrational patterns and frequency.
