No, a monkey is not considered a primary consumer in the traditional ecological sense. Primary consumers are organisms that consume producers (plants) directly, such as herbivores. Monkeys are typically omnivores or frugivores, meaning they consume a variety of foods including plants, fruits, insects, and sometimes small animals. Monkeys would be classified as secondary or even tertiary consumers in many food chains or webs.
A rat is considered a primary consumer because it mainly feeds on plants, seeds, fruits, and other primary producers. Secondary consumers typically prey on primary consumers, such as rats, making them part of the food chain as primary consumers.
