Yes. A platypus is a secondary consumer. Secondary consumers are animals that eat primary consumers, and although platypuses do not eat fish, they do eat other primary consumers such as crustaceans, insect larvae and annelid worms.
The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is a marsupial mammal and is indigenous to Australia. Their closest relative is the wombat. They live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala has developed a stomach which is capable of removing the toxins from where they are filtered out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients. The caecum is similar to the human appendix. The koala must eat over a kilogram of leaves per day to meet its energy requirements. Eucalyptus leaves contain approximately 50% water, 18% fibre, 13% tannins, 8% fat, 5% carbohydrates, 4% protein and 2% minerals. Koalas have been seen feeding in 120 kinds of eucalypt tree including Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Blue Gum, Forest Red Gum and Grey Gum.
Well, it depends on the food chain. We just learned about consumers recently so I have a good memory on it. It would probably be a round the 1st order/primary consumer or 2nd order/ secondary consumer. I wouldn't necessarily say it's a tertiary/3rd order consumer. That's my opinion.
Being a marsupial, the Koala is not a bear.
Their diet consists purely of certain eucalyptus leaves.
The koala is a primary consumer because it feeds solely on vegetation and plant matter.

The koala is in the middle of the foodchain. The koala is a secondary consumer in the food chain, and a specialist feeder. Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves almost exclusively, so they are herbivores. Some of the koala's predators are dingoes, dogs, foxes, owls and pythons.
