scavengers are kind of like "nature's vacuum". they feed on the remains of dead animals and the remains that other animals have left behind. Most scavengers are omnivores that will eat any plant/meat remains that contain some nutritional value, ( such as lobsters who feed on anything from small fish to seaweed and plankton)...but many are strictly carnivorous eating only animal remains...(such as the vulture).

Why is scavenging an example of a eater-eaten relationship?

scavenging is an example of an eater-eaten relationship because animals who feed on the dead animals may be eaten by other live animals when they are dead....For Example; Vultures feed on dead animals but when the vulture is dead another live animal will feed on it and when that live animal becomes dead another animal will feed on its dead body and so on...
