a third level consumer or second level carnivore
A Tertiary consumer.
It is a third level consumer.
Grass is eaten by a zebra. That zebra is eaten by a Lion. A leaf is eaten by a grasshopper. That grasshopper is eaten by a snake. That snake is eaten by an eagle. A carrot is eaten by a rabbit. That rabbit is eaten by a hawk.
Snakes are secondary consumers. If you think this through, it will be pretty clear. A primary consumer is an animal that eats plants. Snakes don't eat plants, so they can't be primary consumers. Snakes are either secondary or tertiary consumers. Snakes eat the following animals: mice, varied small rodents, birds, worms, small fish, small lizards, and in some cases, large mammals. If the snake you are using as your example eats small mammals (probably the most common case) then think about what the small mammal eats. Probably nuts, grains, etc. Plant material. So the small mammal is a primary consumer and the snake eats the primary consumer, so that makes a snake a secondary consumer. If the snake you are using eats something that eats other animals (say your snake eats birds or lizards that eats insects) then the snake may be a secondary or tertiary consumer based on if it is eaten. If the snake is eaten by an animal, it is secondary, if not, it is tertiary. ANIMAL ==> PLANTS = primary consumer SNAKE ==> SMALL MAMMAL ==> PLANTS = secondary consumer SNAKE ==> BIRD/LIZARD ==> INSECTS ==> PLANTS = tertiary consumer
it's the plants or you can say grass 1- grass(primary producer or first step of food chain) eaten by....... 2- frog eaten by........ 3- snake eaten by........ 4- eagle
