wandering into farmers' houses for food

Sometimes giant pandas are found wandering into farmers' houses for food.

I doubt if wandering sounds as right as intruding/tresspassing/invading in the above sample. Thanks.

Hi Angliholic

'Wandering' sounds good to me. It basically suggests that the farmers' houses were among many indiscriminate places that the pandas looked for food.

I definitely would not use trespassing. Trespass suggests an unlawful act, and is generally something only a human can do.
