It means an animal that preys on other animals lower on the food chain. Basically, a consumer animal is an animal that doesn't produce its own food, and obtains energy from another organism. Technically, every animal (that I know of) obtains atleast some of its energy from another organism. Only plants make their own food from chlorophyll, but PLEASE don't misunderstand this part: plants can't make their own energy.Plants convert energy from the sun to glucose.
