Predators feed on another organism, i.e. prey, whereas scavenger feeds on dead animals or an animal killed by another animal. A predator can be a prey also, e.g. a frog eats insects and the frog may be eaten by a snake. But a scavenger such as jackals, hyenas and vultures cannot kill zebra or giraffe or deer but a lion kills them and leaves a part of it to be eaten by such scavengers.
