In the Congo, various scavenger species play crucial roles in the ecosystem. Notable scavengers include the African jackal, vultures like the hooded vulture and the white-backed vulture, as well as hyenas, which often scavenge from larger predators. Additionally, smaller scavengers such as marabou storks and various beetle species contribute to the decomposition process, helping to recycle nutrients back into the ecosystem. These scavengers are essential for maintaining the health of their habitats by cleaning up carrion and preventing the spread of disease.
Maggots are Scavengers because they cannot hunt their own food, therefore they have to live off of already dead animals.
Scavengers are creatures that eat the meat of dead animals but typically do not hunt live prey.
Scavengers feed on dead animals or plants, while predators hunt and kill live animals for food. Scavengers rely on already dead organisms for sustenance, while predators actively seek out and kill their prey. Additionally, scavengers play a role in decomposition and nutrient recycling in ecosystems, while predators help control populations of prey species.
Yes, lions can be found in some areas of the Congo, particularly in the savannas and grasslands of the region. However, their population has drastically decreased due to habitat loss and hunting.
Scavengers are on every trophic level
no they are not scavengers they eat live food
Guatemalans are the only scavengers in Guatemala.
Without a doubt the greatest scavengers to live in the ocean have been Pirates.
yes.
Yes.
They live in the rainforests of the eastern Congo.
Maggots are Scavengers because they cannot hunt their own food, therefore they have to live off of already dead animals.
Yes people can swim in the Congo River. The people that live near the Congo river use it as transportation and for food.
Some of the scavengers that live in the swamp are an opossum, crayfish, copperhead snake, box turtle, and a blue jay (bird) there are way more then what I listed though.
Scavengers don't necessarily come after carnivores but carnivores are before scavengers because they eat their prey live whereas the scavengers eat what carnivores leave behind
Yes
on the Congo river and in trees
