forages
Hunts for food
Forages is the plural of forage—food for horses, cattle, and other grazing animals, typically hay, grass, or similar plant material: The barn stored enough forages to last the winter.
As a verb form, forages means searches for food or provisions: The bear forages through garbage cans at night.
By extension, to forage is to rummage or hunt for anything: She forages through thrift stores for vintage clothes.
