Humans are, for the most part, primary consumers in the food chain, in that humankind harvests a lot of fruit and vegetable matter, grains, pulses and other edible plant life, as well as farming or hunting a wide variety of animals for meat, without as a rule being preyed upon themselves. This is largely due to their high intelligence having enabled them to develop effective defence mechanisms against predatory wild animals, and also being able to equip themselves with wide-ranging technology that prevents large carnivorous hunting beasts indigenous to some parts of the world, such as parts of India or Africa, from becoming a threat. Human beings are sometimes killed and at least partially eaten by wild animals whilst exploring wild areas of the African bush, or areas of the Indian subcontinent where tigers etc. can be a threat, as well as occasionally being attacked and killed by marine animals such as dangerous sharks, but such incidents are very rare nowadays and usually make the news when they do happen.
