Most scavenging animals are facultative scavengers that gain most of their food through other methods, especially predation .

A vulture is a bird of prey that scavenges on carrion.There are 23 extant species of vulture (including condors). [2] Old World vultures include 16 living species native to Europe, Africa, and Asia; New World vultures are restricted to North and South America and consist of seven identified species, all belonging to the Cathartidae family.
Scavenger receptors are incredibly diverse and therefore, organized into many different classes, starting at A and continuing to L. [2] This organization is based on their structural properties. Due to the diversity and ongoing research into scavenger receptors, the receptors lack an accepted nomenclature and have been described under different ...

It appears that the major scavenger cell systems of vertebrates and invertebrates are based on a dual-cell principle of waste clearance. [11] In vertebrates, distinct populations of scavenger endothelial cells represent the professional pinocyte, clearing the blood of a wide range of soluble macromolecules and small particles (<200 nm) by clathrin-mediated endocytosis, [13] while the ...
