In this study, we consider a fractional prey-predator scavenger model as well as harvesting by a predator and scavenger. We prove the positivity and boundedness of the solutions in this system. The model undergoes a Hopf bifurcation around one of the existing equilibria where the conditions are met for the occurrence of a Hopf bifurcation. The results show that chaos disappears in this biological model. We conclude that the fractional system is more stable compared with the classical case and the stability domain can be extended under fractional order. In addition, a suitable amount of prey harvesting and a fractional order derivative can control the chaotic dynamics and stabilize them. We also present an extended numerical simulation to validate the results. (C) 2019 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
