A scavenger is a consumer that eats the tissue of dead organisms that it does not freshly kill for itself. Lions and hyenas can act as scavengers but both will also consume fresh prey. Vultures are notorious scavengers but again will kill fresh prey if they can. Black bears can also act as scavengers. There are few if any organisms that act exclusively as scavengers.
