There are several kinds of animal that feed on such meat, such as [[vulture]]s, [[hyena]]s, [[condor]]s, or [[Tasmanian Devil]]s. Carrion is an important source of [[food]] for several kinds of [[carnivore]]s and [[omnivore]]s. The [[Carrion beetle]]s also feed on it. Some plants fake the smell of carrion (they smell like carrion), so that they will attract [[insect]]s they eat. [[Predator]]s do not normally feed on carrion- they hunt and kill the animals they eat. {{sci-stub}} [[Category:Zoology]] [[Category:Death]]
