All scavengers eat, it's part of the definition of the word. But not all things that eat are scavengers. Predators aren't scavengers, but they are consumers. Scavengers actually can not exist without primary consumers to scavenge off of.
True
Yes, that statement is true. All scavengers are indeed consumers because they feed on organic matter, but not all consumers are scavengers. Consumers include various organisms that obtain energy by eating other organisms, such as herbivores and predators, while scavengers specifically feed on dead or decaying matter. Thus, scavengers represent a subset of consumers within the broader ecological category.
Not all scavengers eat meat; some are herbivores and others, like flies, don't even have teeth at all. However, many carnivorous scavengers have sharp teeth like other carnivores that are designed for ripping and tearing flesh.
If there were no scavengers then all the dead animals would rot .
Scavengers like vultures, komodo dragons, cichlids, foxes, hyenas, maggots, ants & humans. Every Class of the animal kingdom has a scavenger of some sort and many types of animals will become scavengers when food sources dwindle.

consumers
as far as i know any scavenger will eat a dead pig, scavengers generally eat anything they have strong stomachs after all its what they are designed for.
Yes, a dragonfly is scientifically a scavenger. Some people say that they are not but I have studied dragonflies and all of my partners that also study dragonflies say that dragonflies are a scavenger.
all I know is that there are lots of plants in the savanna and also lots of animals!
true because secondary consumers eat plant eaters which are the predators.
no
Well, that depends on what you mean by scavenger. Does it scavenge alone, or in a pack? Does it it "hunt" scavenge, or "forage" scavenge? You see, all living things scavenge. Even humans, who scavenge for the most inflated chip packet at the shops. So I believe, yes, cheetahs are scavengers, in one form or another. Hope that helps, from PNE.
