Is a Tasmanian devil a decomposer?

It depends on your definition of decomposer. Tasmanian devils eat primarily carrion, but may also eat live animals. Most people would call them carnivores or scavengers (carrion-eaters). "Decomposer" usually refers to bacteria and fungi, not big animals like a Tasmanian devil. Sometimes, certain animals are called detritivores because they eat decomposing organic matter. However, this decomposing organic matter that they're referring to is usually not carrion, and these detritivores are usually, like, earthworms, rather than bigger animals. Technically, I guess the Tasmanian devil is a decomposer, because it eats decomposing dead matter, but it's usually called a scavenger or a carnivore.
