Yes, a lion is typically considered a second-level consumer because it feeds on herbivores, which are primary consumers that consume plants. This places the lion in the second trophic level of a food chain or food web.
A third-level consumer is an animal which eats any animal in the second level category, the only animal that would eat the animal would be a fourth level consumer which is not normally found in a ecosystem. You place a certain level consumer on top of the animal it eats. like a mouse would be a first level consumer, since it eats grass which is a producer, then, the owl whcih eats the mouse would be a second level consumer since it eats that first level consumer, rat.
A cheetah is considered a secondary consumer in the food chain. As a carnivore that primarily preys on herbivores such as gazelles and impalas, the cheetah occupies the second trophic level. This means that it feeds on primary consumers (herbivores) and is itself consumed by tertiary consumers such as lions or hyenas.
first level consumers should be Herbivores like rabbits, giraffes, cow, goats, etc., because first level consumers comes before producers. Second and third level consumers could be Carnivores and Omnivores like lions, tiger, hawk, eagles, snakes, etc.
predators such as lions,pumas and hawks
producer
hawks, tigers, and lions are considered tertiary consumers.
consumers
The trophic level a chicken is at is the secondary consumer level. Since they are omnivores, they eat other animals and plants but also get eaten themselves by other predators.
Well, lions aren't really the kings of animals. First of all, not all lions are male :P Second of all, when people first discovered lions, they saw them as powerful, ferocious beasts, and called them kings. But in truth, over time, lions aren't the most powerful animals on earth, or the most dangerous. We are.
lions are in fact not producers, but heterotrophs. In their natural environment they are tertiary consumers, which means that they are on top of the food chain and consume everything below it, such as primary consumers.
An animal at the bottom of the food chain is a primary consumer. Primary consumers in the Kalahari include zebras, antelope, gazelle, wildebeest, feral goats, and some birds and insects. Animals at the second level of the food chain include lions, leopards, jackals, and birds of prey.
