Bacteria that feed on dead animals are called saprophytic bacteria. They play an important role in decomposition by breaking down organic matter and recycling nutrients back into the environment.
Like a hawk, they eat animals that are already dead. They are called scavengers.
There is a vast array of organisms that feed on dead or decaying matter. On the microscopic scale, bacteria, fungi, and microscopic animal larvae may feed on dead and decarying matter of both plants and animals. On a slightly larger scale, insects such as beetles and ants will also feed on dead and decaying matter. On a much larger scale, scavengers, such as vultures and hyenas will feed on dead animal carcasses.

Decomposers feed on dead organic matter such as fallen leaves, dead animals, and decaying plant material. They break down this organic material into simpler compounds, returning nutrients back into the ecosystem for other living organisms to use.
That is because that the predators that feed on the dead are looking for dead animals. Most of the dead animals are on the ground, unless they magically can fly when they are dead. Many water plants are at the top, so the animals that feed on them stay where to food is
Only fungi feed on dead or decaying matter.
Scavengers, in regards to animals, are those that feed on dead or injured animals. Some of these animals include:CondorsCrowsVulturesSharksBearsHyenasRats
Herbivores: Animals that primarily feed on plants. Carnivores: Animals that primarily feed on other animals. Decomposers: Organisms that break down dead organic matter to obtain nutrients.
