Tertiary Consumers:
The diets of tertiary consumers may include animals from both the primary and secondary trophic levels. Like secondary consumers, their diet may also include some plants. Examples of tertiary consumers include Hawks, Alligators and Coyotes. Hawks feed on small mammals, lizards and snakes.

What are quaternary consumers?
what is a quaternary consumer:The Quaternary consumer is the predator that eats the Tertiary consumer. This is an example of the order a food chain goes in:Grass - Grasshopper - Rat - Snake - Hawk - HumanGrass is the Producer and is eaten by the Primary consumer.Grasshopper is the Primary consumer and is eaten by the Secondary consumer.Rat is the Secondary consumer and is eaten by the Tertiary consumer.Snake is the Tertiary consumer and is eaten by the Quaternary consumer.Hawk is the Quaternary consumer and is the apex predator at the top of the food chain.
What kind of animals are desert consumers?
Desert consumers are desert animals that eat other animals or plants. Some desert consumers are camels, scorpians, sand cats, Addax antelope and many others.
Secondary consumers are eaten by larger?
Secondary consumers are eaten by tertiary consumers - animals that eat other carnivores.
Are scorpions consumers?
scorpions are consumers because they eat other animals to obtain energy.
Consumers that eat both plants and animals?
They are Omnivores.
What are two quaternary consumers of the sea?
The food chain's highest level consumers are the quaternary consumers. These include the animals that prey upon the tertiary consumers like owls feeding on snakes, who feed on mice who eat plants who produce their own food(autotrophs).
What are the consumers in an ocean?

Why quaternary consumers occupy the top possition in the pyramid of energy?
Energy is lost ascending each trophic level of the pyramid of energy. Therefore, when quaternary consumers eat tertiary consumers, most of the energy stored in the tertiary consumers' bodies is lost and only 10-15% is passed on to the quaternary consumers. Quaternary consumers, meanwhile, occupy the top position in the pyramid of energy because nothing preys upon them in turn. (This answer is straight from E2020 answer check please Enjoy :)
What comes after quaternary consumer?
Usually, quaternary consumers are at the top of the food chain. The only thing that would eat a quaternary consumer is another quaternary comsumer (like a human).
What is the fourth trophic level called?
Quaternary consumers
What is a consumer in biology?
A consumer is a living organism that cannot synthesize energy from the sun. Therefore, consumers get energy by eating other organisms. There are many levels of consumers that make up the food web. These can include primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, and sometimes quaternary consumers. Primary consumers are herbivores (they can only consume autotrophs). As energy travels from autotrophs to quaternary consumers, much of the energy is used by organisms or (primarily) dissipated as heat. Therefore, there are less quaternary consumers than autotrophs because quaternary consumers cannot get as much energy.
What are some ocean animals secondary consumers?
tuna, dolphins, turtles
Are seals Quaternary consumers?
yes
Are all animals in the ocean consumers?
yes because only plants can be producers
What ocean creatures are producers?
In the ocean, plants are the producers. Animals are consumers, because they eat either the plants or they eat other animals.
How many types of consumer are there?
There are usually three or four levels of consumers. There are primary consumers who eat plants. Secondary consumers eat the plant eaters. Tertiary (third level) consumers eat those meat eaters. Quaternary, or fourth level, consumers eat the third level animals. The tertiary or quaternary level consumer is usually the 'top predator' at the top of the food chain. Nobody kills and eats the top predator. They die of disease, accidents, old age or fights.
What is a fifth order consumer?
It is a consumer that is at the top of the food web. Food webs have producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, tertiary consumers, quaternary consumers, and fifth order consumers. Fifth order consumers have to eat at least one quaternary consumer to make it to that level. They do not eat other fifth order consumers and can also eat anything lower than their level.
