Lions are secondary consumers because they eat other animals, who are usually herbavores. Herbavores are primary consumers because they consume producers, or vegetation. Vegetation is considered a producer because it relies directly on the sun to produce their food. The primary consumers then eat the vegetation. Because the lions eat herbavores, who consume the vegetation, they in turn also rely on the sun. They are secondary consumers because they eat the animals that eat the vegetation.

Is a lion a secondary consumer or primary consumer?

Generally, no. Remember that tertiary level consumers must eat organisms which themselves would hunt (secondary level consumers). The diet of lions primarily consists of grazing animals such as gazelle, deer, zebras, etc. These are primary consumers (i.e. they eat plants), thus unless a lion eats a hunting animal (in rare instances, lions may hunt each other if food is scarce though this is the exception, not the rule) it is a secondary consumer.
