Vultures and termites are good examples of scavengers, as are owls and raccoons. Hyenas, lions (even mountain lions), wolves, coyotes, and tigers will chase the original hunters away from carrion. Crows often exploit roadkill.

∙ 11y agoThe animals that may be predators but that feed primarily on dead animals are called scavengers. This includes insects as well as animals such as vultures, crows, owls, raccoons, hyenas, and coyotes. A scavenger may also be an omnivore that consumes plant matter as well. Many animals will become scavengers to get food, just as many scavengers may become predators if food is scarce.
