a word for an animal that does not hunt other animals?
Not the word prey. Prey is defined as something being hunted by a predator. Thre are plenty of predators that are also prey. Is there a word, sorta like predator, for the classification of animals that do not hunt and catch other animals, the opposite set of animals to predators. this can include animals that scavenge as they eat dead animals but don't hunt, not just herbivores.
I understand the difficulties, but there is a word "predator" and the opposite of it is not "prey"
scavenger is not right. that only includes carnivores that don't catch and kill other animals. I want to know the classification of animals that don't kill other animals, that would include scavengers, herbivores, etc, We have a classification of animals that catch other other animals to eat, there should be a classification for the opposite set.
