What is an example of a second level consumer?

First of all, a second level consumer is a living thing that eats things that eat producers (plants, etc.). So, if a producer is grass, say, then the consumer would be sheep. Then, wolves eat sheep (or so they say). A wolf would then be a second level consumer because it eats thing that eat producers. Another example would be carnivorous fish. Mosquito fish eat duckweed, and bigger, carnivorous fish eat the mosquito fish. The big, carnivorous fish would be the second level consumer. A snake could be a second level consumer because it is a carnivore eating a herbivore. Herbivores are first level consumers. Cats, dogs, and humans can also be second level consumers.
