What animals are at the top of the food chain?

Answer 1

Well for the whole entire world, it's the human. If you are talking about animals. There is lots of different types.

Grizzly Bear

African Lion

Leopard (depends which one really)

Siberian Tiger.

Do you know what? I don't want the answer to be too long so research it yourself.
This is just my opinion. 1. Humans 2. lions or killer whales 3. bald eagle
Humans are at the top of the food chain and are the most cunning/intelligent species on Earth. No natural predators threaten the survival of humans (in other words, no other species competes with the selection of the race). Being at the top also means that it takes a lot more energy to satisfy the needs of energy transfer in the chain.

tiger is the top of the foodchain because they stalk there prey and the lion hop out on there prey and like jaguar and tiger stalk their prey they both are strong cats but the famous cat is the lion because they call lion king of beast and and the king of the jungle tiger and lion are a good conparison and the hunt at night so a tiger s the top of the foodchain is a tiger strongest animal a tiger can swim very good tiger prey on zebras wilderbeast water buffalo elephant rhino hippo and tiger are called prince of the Indian or prince of the forest and they are there way to the jungle to be prince of the jungle and the lion have a very paw swpe lon can hit a elephant belly withe one paw swipe and knock his belly off and tiger can take down a fully grown elephant tiger are really stronger than jaguars the tiger is the best animal believe t or not so is the lion go to YouTube and go to tiger attack or lon attack please do not go by any of these animals and tiger are the top cat in the family go to top ten fenlines and a tiger bite force are stronger than any fenlnes cat go to bite force on youtube you will be shocked and tiger be can angry mosly with human beungs and dholes or African hunting dogs tiger can a back in a million years mammonth or dire wolves and male tiger mate to 10 mnutes to 15 minutes and male tiger don't give a grap about there cubs and they will try to eat them and the female tiger will defend her cubs she will get crazy about her cubs she will roar and other females will come and attack any thing that that come near her cubs and even male lion have to stay away from the cubs because he will try eat them why the mother is going out hunting during sunset and tigers enemy is a dholes because they will try to steal the prey they catchand tiger can grow 6 feet to 10 feet above in nba star such a yao ming and they can be as tall a a nba basket ball rimand a two nba star standing on each other and they can have a prey on two football feild and let there prey geta head star it will catch up with it's prey and eay ona football goal where you kick a football and a tiger will kill two wolf at the same time so that's why they are on the top of the food chain and prince of cats and the strongest and largest cat to be alive on earth and all you Indian i will come out there and kill youre asses for killing tiger

Answer 3

There are many food chains in the food web. Several animals are considered tertiary consumers, in other words, they are at the top of a food chain. For example, the Hippopotamus is considered to be at the top of it's food chain. No other animals hunt and eat hippos as a food source.

Answer 4

Animal meat makes up only a small portion of the food pyramid, and includes everything with protein. The food chain is different than a food pyramid because it shows the cycle of life and death in an ecosystem. The animals at the top of the food chain are generally carnivores that eat meat. Specifically, Human are at the top of the food chain because they eat every kind of animal.

Answer 5

A “food chain” is a human invention that assumes a linear hierarchy among species. It’s a form of biological determinism, and implies that our behavior regarding food is innate, and determined by genes, or other biological attributes. It ignores the fact that we are moral agents, and are able to make decisions based on notions of right and wrong and be held accountable for those decisions.

But let’s say we could define a hierarchy based on what each species eats. Scientists call this a trophic hierarchy, where the trophic level (or “rank” in a “food chain”) is based on diet. On the low end of the 1 to 5 scale are primary producers like plants, and on the high end are apex predators (animals that eat only other animals and have few or no predators of their own, such as tigers, crocodiles, or boa constrictors).

In 2013, for the first time ever, ecologists used a statistical method of calculating a species’s trophic level and published their findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

This study didn’t look at humans living in the natural world, competing with other species for food, where their only choices are based on what they could obtain without technology. In doing so, it failed to take into account the important distinction that comes from humans’ ability to choose from a wide variety of food options, in contrast to other animals in the wild, who have no choice but to eat what is available to them.

Even so, even looking at humans with factory farms, knives, trucks, grocery stores, skillets, indoor kitchens, refrigerators, plates, forks, etc., their findings scored humans at 2.21 roughly equal to an anchovy or a pig.

So we humans, even with all our technology, are not at the top of anything. We are just one part of an interdependent web of life that forms complex ecosystems. We can choose to either protect of these fragile natural systems, or destroy them and our very existence.

Answer 6

Animals at the top of the food chain are known as apex predators. Examples include lions, killer whales, and sharks. These animals have few or no natural predators and play a crucial role in maintaining ecosystem balance.

Answer 7

Preditors. Lions, tigers, other big cats, bears.

Answer 8

Cow, chicken
