Vultures are scavenging birds known for feeding on the carcasses of dead animals. They play a crucial role in the ecosystem by helping to clean up decaying organic matter, which can prevent the spread of disease. Two primary types of vultures are found: Old World vultures, primarily in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and New World vultures, found in the Americas. Both types have adaptations such as excellent eyesight and a strong sense of smell to locate food.
No, a carnivore is an animal that eats only meat. Scavengers (hawks, vultures) eat dead animals and organisms like bacteria also feed on dead animals.
An animal that feeds on the bodies of dead organisms is called a scavenger. Scavengers play an important role in the ecosystem by helping to recycle nutrients and organic matter. Examples of scavengers include vultures, hyenas, and beetles.
No, not all microorganisms feed on dead organisms. Microorganisms are classified as either decomposers, which feed on dead organisms, or as parasites, which feed on living organisms. Some microorganisms also obtain their nutrients from non-living sources such as minerals or sunlight.
it can only feed at dead living things such as dead animals and plants
Decomposers breakdown the dead things that no other animal wants and scavengers is organisms that eat dead animals or decaying plants. During transformation bacteria eats the dna and nutrients of other dead bacteria that is floating around.

Animals that feed on dead organisms are scavengers. Vultures are an example of scavengers.

Consumers that feed on the bodies of dead organisms are called scavengers.
Buzzards and vultures may be categorized as scavengers as they are organisms which feed on the dead animals they find, and rely on them for the obtaining of nutrients.
decomposers, like maggots.

Organisms that feed on dead organisms are called decomposers. These include bacteria, fungi, insects (such as beetles and flies), and scavengers like vultures and hyenas. Decomposers break down dead organic matter into simpler compounds, playing a crucial role in nutrient recycling in ecosystems.
Like a hawk, they eat animals that are already dead. They are called scavengers.
