feeding behaviour

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Wikipedia 0.02 sec.

feeding behaviour

Any action of an animal directed toward obtaining nutrients. Each species evolves methods of searching for, obtaining, and ingesting food for which it can successfully compete. Some species eat only one type of food, others a variety. Among invertebrates food choices are instinctual, while among vertebrates they are learned.
