forager
căutător(de hrană)


Explanation:
Forager e un termen generic, fără a avea însă neapărat o conotaţie negativă.

to forage
to go around searching for food or other supplies.
"In the summer, the goats forage freely (=in any place they want to go)"
to go from place to place searching, especially for food.
"The pigs foraged in the woods for acorns"

O combinaţie între vânător şi culegător:
"A hunter-gatherer or forager society is one in which most or all food is obtained from wild plants and animals, in contrast to agricultural societies which rely mainly on domesticated species".

căutător/culegător de ciuperci = "In Japan a fungus forager can earn a good living"

Elementul de bază pentru înţelegerea sensului acestui termen este searching, cel care caută hrana.

Propoziţia ar suna cam aşa: Aricii sunt căutători şi vânători prin natura lor.
