I would look at species of birds, more specifically those native to Alaska or the general Northern California, Southern Alaskan Range. Birds are one of the most common scavengers in the animal kingdom (i.e. vultures), closely followed any given species of rodents. An Alaskan bird that may be of interest to you is the bird of the United States, the Bald Eagle; in which the species does capture prey, however, a group of Bald Eagles well not hesitate to feast on a carcass that has been left over form a wolf's meal. This same behavior also be observed by well known species such as hawks and hyenas. Remember just because a species captures its food, does not mean natural selection will not favor the behavior of being a scavenger as well.
Yes, most scavengers are omnivores, meaning they eat both plant and animal matter. They feed on a variety of food sources depending on what is available in their environment. Examples of scavengers include vultures, raccoons, and some species of insects.
No. Scavengers eat the bodies of dead animals, making it less likely that they will be fossilized.
Actually, decomposers and scavengers aren't the same. Decomposers are living things that decompose animals. Scavengers are living things that eat parts of dead organism.-Hope this helps!
no they are decomposers
Definitely, yes. These two (The decomposers and the scavengers), are part of the energy pyramid. The decomposers is located at the bottom of the energy pyramid. Also the scavengers is located at the bottom of the energy pyramid.

The Artic Wolf, Artic Fox, Glaucous Gulls, Snowy Owls, Wolverines, Northern Fulmar and Ivory Gulls are all considered scavengers in the Arctic Regions. Though many of those mentioned can/will sometimes hunt, they usually scavenge. Polar Bears sometimes scavenge as well.
