What is an example of a second level consumer?
First of all, a second level consumer is a living thing that eats things that eat producers (plants, etc.). So, if a producer is grass, say, then the consumer would be sheep. Then, wolves eat sheep (or so they say). A wolf would then be a second level consumer because it eats thing that eat producers. Another example would be carnivorous fish. Mosquito fish eat duckweed, and bigger, carnivorous fish eat the mosquito fish. The big, carnivorous fish would be the second level consumer. A snake could be a second level consumer because it is a carnivore eating a herbivore. Herbivores are first level consumers. Cats, dogs, and humans can also be second level consumers.

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.

Feeding on Secondary Consumers in an ecosystem will cause for you to be classified as a Tertiary Consumer (also known as a 3rd order consumer), and will be, by necessity, a carnivore. Another way to think of this is in trophic levels, where the producers will be of the First Trophic Level, standard herbivores of the second, the first-order carnivores for herbivores the third, and the organism defined by this question the fourth.
