'Cheerio find child with class that starts with string

Currently I have an object which has a lot of children. I can find a particular child using:

$(elem).find('.animal-type').text();

However, some of the animal-type classes have different endings: i.e. animal-types, animal-type1 or longer ones.

How can I substitute find('.animal-type') to look for elements that have a class which starts with animal-type?

If you want to select all html elements that have a class which starts with 'animal', this should work: $(elem).find('[class^="animal"]')
