Hyenas and crows are not considered decomposers; they are scavengers. Hyenas primarily feed on carrion, breaking down and consuming dead animals, while crows also scavenge and eat a variety of organic materials, including carrion. Decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi, specifically break down dead organic matter into simpler substances, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. Though both hyenas and crows play important roles in the ecosystem, their function is more aligned with scavenging than decomposing.
