It is possible. One example of an animal that is both scavenger and a hunter is lobster. Lobsters are crustaceans, a group of invertebrates, which are the organisms that have no backbones.They have a strong exoskeleton. Lobsters devours any decayed matter, but it also hunts live fishes.

Was the Tasmanian tiger a scavenger?

The Thylacine or Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacinus cynocephalus), was both a hunter and a scavenger. It was a carnivorous marsupial, or dasyurid. It fed on native animals such as wallabies, wombats, possums, birds and other prey smaller than itself.The Thylacine sometimes scavenged for food, and was known to feed on the carcasses of rabbits and wallabies.Some studies have concluded that the animal may have hunted in small family groups, with the main group herding prey in the general direction of an individual waiting in ambush. However, scientific and fossil evidence indicates the Tasmanian tiger, or Thylacine, was a solitary animal that lived and hunted alone.

Was the T-rex a predator or a scavenger?

Tyrannosaurus rex has always been portrayed as a large, mean, hunter. But new science and newly put forth theories by Jack Horner have concluded that Tyrannosaurus rex may not have been "king" after all. It may have even been a scavenger. But, in mine and others like Dougal Dixon's opinion, T.rex probably was a bit of both.
