But I haven't been able to find this definition anywhere. The definitions that I have read is that greed is acquiring more than one needs (ie. to survive). So greed can't be a form of survival by definition of the word.

While animals wouldn't know what to do with a bmw, food is definitly high on the list of things to horde.

Food hording then is for survival and thus is not a form of greed. It is not acquiring more than one needs to survive since it is the act of gathering enough food for the future (ie. survival). I still haven't heard of animal greed before. I have always thought greed was by definition, a human trait.
