Solution

Scavengers are animals that consume dead organisms that have died from causes other than predation. While scavenging generally refers to carnivores feeding on carrion, it is also a herbivorous feeding behaviour. Scavengers play an important role in the ecosystem by consuming dead animal and plant material.
Vultures and Kites serve as Scavengers.
