No, for the most part, owls are not scavengers. They are predatory animals and most owls are nocturnal, meaning they hunt at night. Owls typically consume small rodents, other birds, fish in some cases, and insects.

Why are crows called scavengers?

There is some observational evidence to suggest that ravens (and crows) have a relationship with wolves living in the same area. Ravens have been known to fly ahead of a wolf pack on the hunt and it has been suggested that they may be leading the wolves in the direction of prey. Ravens, being scavengers, get a good meal from a wolf kill and the wolves get an easier hunt. Symbiosis. Wolves and ravens have also been observed playing with each other on many occasions.

How do wolves survive in the winter?

wolves survive the winter by food. because wolves can eat 1 elk and go on for several weeks it helps them through the winter. Some of the Gray Wolves that have been returned to Yellowstone Park in the USA have become bison-specialists. ALL Wolves hunt in packs, so 1 elk will last a few DAYS, not weeks. 1 Buffalo (Bison) will last several days, also. But wolves travel and leave the carcass for scavengers, such as bears. The wolves are actually MORE SUCCESSFUL hunting in winter, because their prey has difficulty negotiating the deep snow.
