Consumers that only eat dead organisms may be decomposers, which include bacteria and fungi and break down dead matter into smaller nutrients. Another category of organisms that consume dead animals are scavengers, which feed on the leftovers of other predators and include vultures and heinas. Decomposers will eat both dead plants and animals, whereas scavengers usually eat dead animals.
