Lots of different predators will prey upon other predators: Golden eagles are well known predators of smaller hawks. Collared lizards will eat other lizards. Crocodilians will feed on other predators, such as monitor lizards, snakes and even lions that come to the water to drink. Many snakes will eat other snakes. Some frogs, like the horned frogs of South America and the African bullfrog, readily feed on other frogs.
Heterotrophs (which means nourished by others), also called consumers, are organisms that consume other organisms. Heterotrophs include animals, protists, and bacteria, or fungi. Animals that eat plants, such as deer and caterpillars, are called herbivores. Animals that eat other animals, such as mountain lions and wasps, are called carnivores. Decomposers are heterotrophs that feed from the carcasses of dead animals or dead plants. If they are animals, such as millipedes, lobsters, starfish, clams, and catfish, scientists sometimes call them scavengers.
