Yes, there are scavengers in the desert. The best known, of course, are vultures and ravens. However, there are many other animals that will scavenge when the opportunity presents itself such as cougars, coyotes, bobcats, bear, foxes, etc. Few will turn down a free meal.

Many animals not normally considered to be scavengers will not turn down a free meal that does not require them to expend energy to hunt and kill. Normal desert scavengers would be ravens and vultures. However, coyotes and other canines and felines such as foxes, bobcats, wolves, wild dogs, bears and even cougars and other big cats will not refuse a pre-killed meal.
