Top carnivores are not always very large; their size can vary depending on the ecosystem they inhabit and the availability of prey. In some cases, top carnivores may be large apex predators like lions or polar bears, while in other ecosystems, they may be smaller predators like weasels or falcons. The key defining characteristic of top carnivores is their position at the highest trophic level in the food chain, where they primarily feed on herbivores or other carnivores.
lions
no their are many other top carnivores that have not been seen because they are a danger to us so it is very hard to compare
The carnivores that are not hunted or eaten by any other species are called top or apex carnivores.
it maybe because top carnivores eats plants nd meat as well as omnivores do
what happens in a forest habitat without top carnivores
Top: Tertiary Consumers (carnivores that eat other carnivores) Bottom: Producers (plants, algae, protists, etc.)
lions and wolves manly
Top carnivores like lion, leopard, tiger etc are mostly at the top of the food chain(teritiary consumers) & hence they get the minimum amount of energies from the lower tropic levels (10% law). Such amount of energy can't support large number of individuals, the more you are on the right side of food chain, the less amount of energy you get.
At the top of the energy pyramid are the tertiary consumers or top predators. These are organisms that consume secondary consumers and have no predators of their own in the ecosystem. Examples include large carnivores like lions or sharks.
