Each consumer type is specifically adapted to eat its primary source of food. These adaptations show themselves in a specific type of teeth or in their digestive systems.
The secondary consumers, such as lobsters, feed on the herbivores. The tertiary consumers, in turn, feed on the secondary consumers, and so on.
A secondary consumer in a food web is the carnivorous or omnivorous animal that feeds on the primary consumer, which is the organism (normally a plant) that eats the producer (normally a plant).
In a food chain, there are four crucial members. There are the primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers and tertiary consumers. An example of a food chain can be found in a stream found in a forest. The primary producers would be plant like producers such as algae that produce food energy for the primary consumers which would be small microorganisms, or very small fish. The secondary consumers such as salmon will feed on these primary consumers for food. The tertiary consumers such as bears will feed on the secondary consumers for their food.
Within an ecological food chain, consumers are categorized into three groups: primary consumers, secondary consumers, and the tertiary consumers.
Raccoons are considered to be secondary consumers. They feed on primary consumers such as insects and rodents.
Cougars feed mostly on primary consumers, such as deer, making them secondary consumers.

Producers make their own food while consumers must rely and feed on producers because they do not have the capacity to create their own food.
First order consumers are herbivores that feed only on the producers which are plants.
Raccoons are generally considered a secondary consumer.
herbivores,omnivores,carnivores.
The food chain's highest level consumers are the quaternary consumers. These include the animals that prey upon the tertiary consumers like owls feeding on snakes, who feed on mice who eat plants who produce their own food(autotrophs).
