Is a cougar a primary tertiary or quaternary consumer?
A jaguar is considered a secondary consumer in the rain forest. Another secondary consumer is the boa constrictor snake in the rain forest.
What are primary consumers in the tropical rainforest?
Primary consumers are all the same even if they're in the oceans, rain forests, deserts, and arctic tundras. Primary consumers are animals that eat plants, so basically they're herbivores. They get the energy from the plants, and a secondary consumer (a animal that devours a primary consumer), comes along and consumes the primary consumer. After that, a "tertiary consumer" (an animal that eats the secondary consumer and barely has any predators), comes along and consumes the secondary consumer. Well, let's say that the tertiary consumer was a cougar. Since rarely any animals try and hunt the cougar, a "decomposer" comes along. A decomposer is any size, like an earthworm could be a decomposer, a hyena, and a vulture. Decomposers are animals (some are, but others could be fungi, moss or mold) and when the tertiary consumer dies, a decomposer comes and "breaks down" the tertiary consumer. I don't know what eats a decomposer (I think birds probably eat earthworms), so really decomposers are at the end of the food chain, and the producers (plants), are at the beginning. I hoped this helped ♥
