An eagle is at least a secondary consumer if not a third level. They are called apex consumers.
Yes, a second order consumer is typically a carnivore. Second order consumers feed on herbivores, which in turn feed on plants. This places them higher in the food chain and indicates that they primarily consume animal matter.
Herbivore is another name for a primary consumer, as they primarily feed on plants and are typically the first level of consumer in a food chain.
Depending on what it eats it can be either. If an eagle eats a rat that ate a crop then it is a secondary consumer. If an eagle eats a cat that ate a rat that ate a crop it's a tertiary consumer. The higher up you get in the chain, the lower energy yield you get from the food, as 90% is lost as heat and only 10% is passed on for every level. i.e. 100% crop -> 10% rat -> 1% cat -> 0.1% eagle. the eagle only receives 0.1% of the energy. DDT and other poisonous chemicals accumulate as you go higher up the chain also.
The second link in a food chain is typically referred to as the primary consumer, which feeds on the producer (first link) and is then consumed by the secondary consumer.
A consumer who eats primary consumers is known as a secondary consumer. This means they are one step higher in the food chain and rely on consuming animals that feed on primary producers. Some examples of secondary consumers include carnivores like wolves and hawks.
No a hawk is not a first and second consumer
Yes, a second order consumer is typically a carnivore. Second order consumers feed on herbivores, which in turn feed on plants. This places them higher in the food chain and indicates that they primarily consume animal matter.
Producer- first order consumer- second order consumer- third order consumer etc
it is a consumer
it is a consumer
They are secondary consumers. It is sure that larger animals will eat them like sharks and seals.
No. They are secondary consumers because they feed on primary consumers
Lion being a meat eater is second level consumer. Herbivorous are first level consumers.
no its a first consumer
A white tiger is considered a second-level consumer. As a carnivore, it preys on first-level consumers, such as herbivores, to obtain energy.
Primary Consumer. They are at the bottom of the food chain.
Both animals are primary consumers - first level.
