The 44 pages that link to Scavenging, each with the reason it gives.

• ForagingBroader topic: Scavenging is a specific food-acquisition strategy within the broader range of foraging.

• Ambush predationCompared with: Scavengers obtain food without capturing live prey through an ambush.

• CarnivoryRelated: Scavengers obtain animal food without making the kill.

• Gray wolfRelated: Wolves also use carcasses, including those left by other predators or harsh conditions.

• CarnivoreCompared with: Some carnivores feed on carcasses rather than capturing prey themselves.

• CarrionNarrower topic: Carrion is the resource scavengers locate and consume.

• KleptoparasitismCompared with: Scavenging uses food left behind, whereas kleptoparasitism takes food from a possessor.

• Suspension feedingCompared with: Scavengers exploit carcasses, whereas suspension feeders capture dispersed food particles.

• Arctic foxRelated: Carcasses left by larger predators can sustain foxes through lean periods.

• Two-stroke engineRelated: Scavenging must clear the cylinder while fresh mixture enters, often through open ports.

• Spider predationCompared with: Scavenging differs from the active capture that defines spider predation.

• Cooperative huntingCompared with: Gathering at a carcass can resemble group feeding but is not a cooperative hunt.

• HyenaRelated: Hyenas scavenge carcasses, while also hunting much of their own food.

• RavenRelated: Ravens often locate and exploit carcasses, sometimes using other animals’ behavior as clues.

• Sit-and-wait predationCompared with: It obtains food without capturing living prey.

• Golden jackalRelated: Carrion supplements the golden jackal’s diet when active prey is scarce.

• LionRelated: Lions obtain food this way as well as by hunting.

• Spotted hyenaRelated: Scavenging complements hunting and lets hyenas exploit carcasses efficiently.

• MolluscivoryCompared with: Molluscivory describes prey identity, whereas scavenging describes how food is obtained.

• Squat lobsterRelated: Many species use seafloor carcasses as food.

• Egyptian vultureNarrower topic: Carrion forms a major part of the Egyptian vulture’s diet.

• Asian water monitorRelated: It readily consumes carrion as well as captured prey.

• Slipper lobsterRelated: Many slipper lobsters use their flattened bodies to shelter near the bottom while seeking food.

• Japanese spider crabRelated: Its diet can include animal remains and other food found on the seafloor.

• Nephrops norvegicusRelated: It supplements its diet by consuming carrion on the seabed.

• Virginia opossumRelated: Carrion is one of the many food sources in the opossum’s varied diet.

• Cave hyenaRelated: Scavenging likely complemented hunting in cave hyena feeding ecology.

• Giant isopodRelated: Giant isopods often consume carcasses that reach the seafloor.

• Steppe eagleRelated: Steppe eagles supplement hunting by taking carrion, including at rubbish dumps.

• TeratornithidaeRelated: Teratornithid diets have been interpreted in part through comparisons with scavenging birds.

• ArctodusRelated: A scavenging-heavy lifestyle is one proposed explanation for Arctodus’s size and broad range.

• ArgentavisRelated: A scavenging lifestyle could have reduced the need for frequent powered pursuit.

• DaeodonRelated: Its robust jaws and broad diet make scavenging one plausible part of Daeodon's feeding behavior.

• Free-ranging dogRelated: Human refuse and carcasses can sustain dogs that forage beyond household care.

• Hooded crowRelated: Scavenging lets hooded crows exploit food sources created by people and other animals.

• Marabou storkNarrower topic: Carrion is a major food source for marabou storks.

• CleridaeRelated: Some clerids feed on insect carcasses or other dead animal matter.

• Crested caracaraRelated: Carrion is a regular food source, though not the bird's only one.

• Falkland Islands wolfRelated: Scavenging could supplement hunting where terrestrial prey was scarce.

• Giant petrelRelated: Carcasses, including seal and penguin remains, are a major food source.

• GrylloblattidaeRelated: Ice crawlers commonly feed on dead insects and other organic material.

• Homarus gammarusRelated: Carrion forms part of the varied diet of this opportunistic lobster.

• Pye-dogRelated: Human food waste can provide a dependable resource for pye-dogs.

• SkuaRelated: Besides stealing and killing prey, many skuas feed on carrion.
