Deposite Feeders Feed on the deposites of other animals (feces). They gain nutrients from the undigested materials in the feces. They normally have extra strong digestive systems.

Deposit Feeding and Digestion Theory (1667 words)
Deposit feeding is an extreme ingestive and digestive strategy, making it of potential interest in helping to understand the process of digestion more generally.
On average, deposit feeders ingest about four times their own body weights per day (Cammen 1980), but it is not unusual to observe ingestion rates as high as 300 times body weight per day (Taghon 1988).
Both the deposit feeder and the launderer are attempting to remove a small portion of adsorbed, generally organic, often hydrophobic material.
