Natural selection is when biological organisms with favorable traits survive and reproduce more successfully than organisms that do not possess such traits. Organisms with negative or less useful traits survive and reproduce less successfully than organisms lacking such harmful traits. Natural selection played a huge part in the evolution of the great barracuda. The barracuda had to adapt their distinctive shape, design, and skills over the years and did so through many generations.

Consumers that eat plants?
There are basically three levels of consumers: primary, secondary and top level consumer. Primary consumers include organisms which feed on the producers, that is to say, green plants.

Top level consumers are those which feed on either primary or secondary consumers or both. consider a food chain like this: plant -> rat -> snake -> predatory bird in this food chain, the first level consumer is rat(herbivore) while snake is second level(carnivore) and finally a predatory bird which feeds on both rat and snake, which makes it a top level consumer.
