Native animals includes squirrels and the baboons (Cilladdas) that used to be found in the rock outcrops and cliffs of Amdeworq. A few decades ago, Cilladdas used to be seen roaming and foraging around the edge of the town including around General Hailu Kebede Primary School.

A single Common Pipistrelle (Pipistrellus pipistrellus) was detected foraging around the village but its roost was not located.The survey was conducted by Mr. Raymond Stephens, National Parks & Wildlife Service. # Hares are present but the exact size of the population is unknown. In the recent past they have been trapped and removed from the island for hare-coursing.

Around 47 bird species visit Lake Fúquene, among them Agelaius icterocephalus bogotensis and Fulica americana.Hoeck, p.7 in 1940, more than 80 fauna species were foraging around the lake, a number reduced to 58 in 2014. En 30 años, agua en laguna de Fúquene descendió un metro - El Espectador In and around the lake 248 plant species have been identified.

Colonies range greatly in size, with an average of 100 individuals per cave. The bat feeds during short activity periods in the evening and dawn, foraging around nearby forest areas for insects. Females give birth annually to a single offspring. Although the bat's status in Myanmar is not well known, the Thai population is restricted to a single province and may be at risk for extinction.

These hummingbirds forage primarily in sparsely forested regions which present low flowering plant species. They feed on nectar of flowering plants present in humid evergreen forests ecosystems, favouring clearings, forest openings, and roadsides. Specifically, they have been observed foraging around the small white flowers of trees and shrubs in the Inga genus, as well as the flowers of Myrtaceae, and Verbenaceae plants. Small insects have also been observed being caught by the species through hawking.

A study in forest near Hobart in Tasmania found that the crescent honeyeater's diet was wholly composed of insects during the breeding season, while nectar was a significant component during winter. Insects consumed included moths and flies. Tree-trunks were the site of foraging around two-thirds of the time, and foliage a third. It fed on nectar as plants came into flower in the autumn and winter, and then foraged in Tasmanian blue gum (Eucalyptus globulus) during the breeding season in spring.

E. distanti is a scavenger, taking advantage of any animal or vegetable matter available, picking out energy-rich parts of food presented to them. In Tamana Cave, Trinidad, E. distanti wait buried beneath guano nightly, with antennae extended above the surface, until local insectivorous bats return from foraging around 3:00 a.m., then emerge to consume the fresh guano droppings. A local frugivorous bat is found in the same cave, but E. distanti only burrow in their droppings, rather than eat them.

Several studies have documented similarities in how foraging habitats are actually used by Indiana bats. Indiana bats in Indiana were foraging around the canopy, which was 7 to 98 feet (2–30 m) above ground. In Missouri, a female bat foraged 7 to 33 feet (2–10 m) above a river. A male Indiana bat was observed flying in an elliptical pattern among trees at 10 to 33 feet (3–10 m) above the ground under the canopy of dense forests.

This species is most commonly seen at dusk, foraging around street lamps or over golf courses. Dasypterus intermedius prefers foraging in open areas, typically 5–7 meters (17–23 feet) above the ground usually in areas with minimal shrubs and scattered clumps of trees, above grassy regions (such as airports, pastures, golf courses, lake edges), and along forest edge. The majority of their diet is composed of true bugs, flies, mosquitoes, beetles, leafhoppers, flying ants, and on the rare occasion, damselflies and dragonflies.

The park is currently home to one female African elephant called Mondula. She spends her day foraging around her enclosure and using the various pieces of enrichment provided for her by her keepers. On most days, if Mondula is willing, the keepers will engage the elephant in training sessions where she is rewarded with food when she demonstrates positive behaviours. If she is outside the visitors can get a closer look as Mondula presents her feet, mouth, ears and tail to the keepers for inspection and cleaning.

Retrieved 26 December 2015. As recently at 1998, herpetologist Hal Cogger observed more than 80 forest skinks basking and foraging around a single fallen tree.John Woinarski and Hal Cogger, Australian endangered species: Christmas Island Forest Skink, The Conversation, 19 September 2013. Retrieved 26 December 2015. However, populations plummeted during the 1990s and 2000s by up to 98%. In 2003, the species was limited to fragmented pockets in remote parts of the island, and a targeted survey in 2008 found the species at only a single site.

It was found that foraging time was greatest at around a five hundred meter radius around the nest, but time decreased as distance increased past the five hundred meter mark. Further, flight distance was very different among different individuals, reinforcing the idea that specific bees are bred for specific jobs, and that some are more skilled than others. Outside of the differences between individual bees, differences between species were found as well. B. lapidarius, for example, was found to typically be foraging around the five hundred meter radius mark, but some individuals ranged much farther than this, reaching distances as far as 1,500 meters away from the nest. Further, the red-tailed bumblebee displayed high “patch fidelity”, indicating that an individual bee was likely to return to a specific location. This species of bee thus can loosely be described as a “long distance forager”, but does not travel as far as some other Bombus species, so it is typically described as having an intermediate foraging distance.
