I worked with a man that had a pen of turkeys. One night, something got into the pen, killed and ate the heads off of some of the turkeys. Only a two or three of the turkeys were killed. They staked it out thinking what ever came, would return the next night. A bobcat returned and he shot it. He found out that the bobcat would kill it's prey, eat the head off to be sure it's dead, and plans on returning to get the others that it killed later.
Usually scavengers will eat the soft tissues first such as the guts and eyes, until it decomposes a bit more. Animals killing for sport may chew a bit, but don't really appear to be hungry. Those returning to finish it off either later on that night or the next, eat the head to make sure it is dead. Those hungry as hell eat the whole thing.
