Foraging behavior refers to the methods animals use to search for and gather food. This behavior can vary widely among species, influenced by factors such as habitat, food availability, and competition. Animals may use visual cues, scent, or memory to locate food sources, and their strategies can include hunting, scavenging, or gathering. Different species exhibit unique foraging techniques. For example, birds may use their beaks to probe for insects, while bears might dig for roots or fish in rivers. Understanding foraging behavior helps researchers learn about animal ecology and the impact of environmental changes on food resources.
