Animals that eat other animals are predators. Animals that eat animals of their own species are cannibals.

Both predators and scavengers may be meat-eaters (carnivores) or eat both animals and plants (omnivores).

There are a very large range of animals that eat each other spread throughout the world. They are named; carnivores, meaning that they only eat meat. These include tigers, lions, cheetahs, pumas, jaguars, leapords, komodo-dragons, eagles, falcons, owls, Spiders and more.

Of course, if you are talking about species of animals eating their own species, this would be named cannibalism.

Creatures that may do this include ants, starving creatures, and maybe some variety of spiders. Some humans to, in the past, have been known to eat their own kind, from starvation. Perhaps this clears up your question?
