Oh, dude, apex predators in grasslands? Easy peasy. We're talking about the big shots here, like lions, cheetahs, and wolves. These guys are basically the cool cats of the grasslands, chilling at the top of the food chain and keeping everything in check. So yeah, if you're ever roaming around the grasslands, just remember to give these apex predators their space, like, respect the kings and queens of the savanna, man.
If you were asking about the African savanna, it would be the Lion.
An apex predator and a tertiary consumer are not necessarily the same, although they can overlap. An apex predator is at the top of the food chain with no natural predators, while a tertiary consumer is an organism that feeds on secondary consumers. While many apex predators are also tertiary consumers, not all tertiary consumers are apex predators, as some may be preyed upon by others.
An apex predator, also known as an alpha predator or top predator, is a predator at the top of a food chain, without natural predators. Apex predators are usually defined in terms of trophic dynamics, meaning that they occupy the highest trophic levels. Food chains are often far shorter on land, usually limited to being secondary consumers – for example, wolves prey mostly upon large herbivores (primary consumers), which eat plants (primary producers). The apex predator concept is applied in wildlife management, conservation and ecotourism.
Although wolves, bear, and cougar may venture onto grasslands, they are not common enough to impact prey populations. The top predators on the grasslands would be the coyote, and the golden eagle.
Examples of consumers in temperate grasslands and savannas are lions, elephants, zebras, and vultures.
The wolf is the apex predator in a forest habitat
An animal that is a predator but is never or almost never prey is called an apex predator. The are a number of examples.
I think you are referring to the Apex Predator. The Apex Predator is at the top of the food chain and has no natural predators

Saltwater Crocodiles are apex predators.
The mountain lion is an apex predator.
The puma is a predator and the apex predator of the food chain so is a prey to nothing.
An apex predator, also known as an alpha predatoror apical predator, is a predatorresiding at the top of a food chain upon which no other creatures prey.
If you're an apex predator, you don't have your own predator and you don't have to risk yourself that you might get eaten up by other animals.
