ELI5: How can scavenger animals (that feast on often diseased, rotten flesh) stomach such meals?

What makes their digestive system so unique that they are classified as "scavengers"?
gpt
In addition to highly acidic stomachs, scavengers also have short digestive tracts. Their food spends less time in their body\*, so whatever may have survived the stomach has less time to multiply in the intestines and become a problem.

\*they can afford this because rotten meat is basically pre-digested. Tenderized.
