A second-order consumer, also known as a secondary consumer, refers to an organism that primarily feeds on primary consumers (herbivores). In a food chain, they occupy the third trophic level, following primary producers (plants) and primary consumers. Examples of second-order consumers include carnivores and omnivores that eat herbivores. Their role is crucial in maintaining ecological balance by regulating primary consumer populations.

Can a wolf be a second order consumer and a third order consumer?
Yes, a wolf can be classified as both a second-order and a third-order consumer depending on its diet. As a carnivore, a wolf primarily preys on herbivores, making it a second-order consumer when it feeds on animals like deer or rabbits. However, if it consumes another carnivore, such as a coyote, it would then be classified as a third-order consumer. Thus, wolves can occupy multiple trophic levels based on their specific feeding behaviors.
