Scavenger
Vultures - Twentynine Palms
Scavengers are opportunists who search for or take advantage of useful dead organic material; usually described as a member of the decomposer community, but not all scavengers always consume carrion. A coyote, for example, will kill a rabbit, but will also take advantage of a dead deer it may happen across. It doesn't behave as a scavenger when hunting the rabbit, but it does when feeding on the dead deer.
