Vultures eat (previously killed) large mammals such as deer, goats, sheep, donkeys, horses, pigs, cougars, bears, and cattle. They will also eat (perviously killed) small animals like rabbits and coyote. They rarely eat reptiles and other birds. The already dead animals are known generally as 'carrion'.
Vultures eat carrion and are scavengers (the bodies of dead and rotting animals) - they do not kill these animals themselves - so they are not predators.
-they also eat the bones of the animals because their digestive system can disolve the bones fast.
