The striped hyenas are small hyenas with a dog-like appearance. They have long, black, pointed ears, which gives them excellent hearing skills. Their brownish-gray fur with black stripes is the perfect camouflage allowing them to blend in with the tall grass.
Jackals are members of the dog family found in Africa and Asia. They're very closely related to coyotes. Like coyotes, jackals are medium-sized canines that live in packs. The main difference between both animals is their size; coyotes are much bigger.
There are about 500 species of sharks. Their size varies from dwarf lantern shark, about 0.39 inches long, to the whale shark, which can grow up to 60 feet long. Although sharks are mostly apex predators that actively hunt fish, seals, octopuses, and other marine animals,
Bears are large land mammals found across various habitats in Europe, North America, Asia, and Africa. There are eight types of bears, and feeding habits tend to vary from one species to the other. Most bears are omnivores meaning they feed on both plant and animal matter.
Vultures are the most-recognizable scavenger animals in the world. They are one of the few animals that feed exclusively on carrion (decaying flesh of dead animals). They have many interesting biological adaptations that make it safe for them to eat decaying flesh.
These birds have a diverse diet that is not limited to carrion. However, they're definitely drawn to dead meat and are often found feeding on it. Ravens are scavenger animals often seen in the company of vultures, magpies, and eagles.
Eagles are known to be voracious apex predators that hunt for themselves. However, they can also feast on carcasses, just like the vulture. Their keen eyesight, strong talons, and massive wings give them an intimidating appearance.
Like vultures on land, crabs are the cleanup team of the sea. Crab feeding habits tend to vary from one species to the other. However, most are bottom feeders living in underwater grasses on the ocean floor. This provides a good hiding spot from predators.
