    Crocodile can digest just about anything.

    Hyenas. They can even process bones.

    Of multicellular animals, probably the Eyelash Mite. It lives only on sebaceous oil, so does have a rather limited diet,  but excretes nothing.

    I suppose it must have waste-products but perhaps simply water and carbon-dioxide it can lose as part of its respiration.
