A snake can be classified as a Quaternary consumer if it occupies the top of a food chain and primarily preys on tertiary consumers. However, not all snakes are Quaternary consumers; many species are secondary or tertiary consumers depending on their diet and ecosystem. For example, a snake that feeds on rodents (secondary consumers) would not be considered a Quaternary consumer. The classification depends on the specific ecological context and the snake's position in the food web.
