No, hyenas are not primary consumers; they are considered carnivores and primarily act as scavengers and predators in their ecosystems. They primarily feed on the remains of dead animals or hunt for live prey, placing them higher in the food chain. Primary consumers, on the other hand, are typically herbivores that feed on plants and algae.
