Third level consumers are consumers that feed on second level consumers. A hawk eating a rattlesnake would be an example of a third level consumer. In a forest ecosystem, snakes are third level consumers. Herons and large fish are also third level consumers.

I suppose they're called tertiary consumers. They are organisms that feed on the second order consumers (organisms that feed on first order consumers, which were mainly herbivores). For instance: An owl hunting and eating a snake.

A 4th order cosumer is the consumer that feeds of third level consumers (kindof a no-brainer answer). 3rd order consumers feed of 2nd order cosumers and 2nd order consumers feed off 1st order consumers and 1st order consumers feed off producers like grass or bushes; plants that make their own energy from the sun... hope this answer is good enough.
