Asked by Wiki User

A tertiary consumer is an organism that eats secondary consumers. An example of this would be shark. The shark could be a tertiary consumer because the shark eats a fish which eats zooplankton which eat phytoplankton. The phytoplankton is the primary producer, the zooplankton is the primary consumer, the fish is the secondary consumer which makes the shark the tertiary consumer.

Is a least weasel a primary consumer?

Asked by Wiki User

In food chains, the 'producers' are plants, who convert the energy from the sun into food through photosynthesis. A primary consumer is an animal who eats plants as food, and a secondary consumer is an animal who preys upon a primary consumer. A tertiary consumer will hunt other predators too.

A weasel's main prey would be grass and seed-eating primary consumers, such as rodents and rabbits, but they do not prey on other carnivorous mammals. So that is why the weasel is a secondary consumer.
