food caching

food caching

the hiding or storing of food by a nonhuman animal for later use. Clark’s nutcracker, a bird of the southwestern United States, is said to cache up to 30,000 pine nuts each year and to retrieve enough of these to survive over winter. Food-caching birds have good spatial memory and an enlarged hippocampus. See hoarding.
