those energy that doesn't advance for one level of the food chain to the next aren't stored, they represent the energy used by the animal as it lives. for example , a grass hopper eats 5 kg of grasses his whole life wont give the same amount of energy as it gets eaten. he has to use energy as he grows as he mates as he jumps as he lives every day. those energy aren't stored in any way, these energy are used by merely living and surviving.

∙ 12y agosome of the energy stays in the animal, but some of it is wasted while looking for a prey, that's why most food chains stop at the 4th animal, sometimes 5th , because there is not enough energy to survive on, i hope this gives you some help :)
