Consumers When an animal eats a producer the animal, or consumer, takes in the energy stored in the producer and uses it for their own fuel. Animals that eat plants only are called herbivores. Herbivores
are the first level of consumer called a primary consumer.
Animals which eat only meat are called carnivores. Carnivores
are considered secondary consumers because they eat the primary consumer. This means that they are taking in the energy from the primary consumer which itself took in the energy from the producer.
Some animals eat both plants and animals these animals are called omnivores
. Humans are an example of an omnivore.
Animals which eat other animals are also called predators, while the animal that they eat is called prey.
