stupid a herbivore is a consumer and it is carnivore
Herbivores are consumers. Snakes are consumers, but not herbivores.
herbivore/consumer
herbivore. some are carnivore.
True. Any animal that eats a herbivore can be called a secondary consumer. The reason for this is because a herbivore consumes plants (producers), so the herbivore is known as a primary consumer. The secondary consumer would feed on the primary consumer, which is why it's called a secondary consumer, and the herbivore is called a primary consumer. So the order is - The plant is the producer, the herbivore (which eats plants) is the primary consumer, the animal that eats the herbivore (the primary consumer) is the secondary consumer, and the animal that eats the secondary consumer (the animal that eats the herbivore) is known as the tertiary consumer. If you want to go even farther, the animal that eats the tertiary consumer is known as the Quaternary consumer. An example would be a flower (the producer) that is fed upon by a grasshopper (the primary consumer). A rat or mouse (the secondary consumer) feeds on the grasshopper, and a snake (the tertiary consumer) feeds on the mouse/rat. Finally, a hawk (the quaternary consumer) feeds upon the snake. Thus completing the cycle. A secondary consumer can also be a primary consumer too (a herbivore), if it's able to feed on a herbivore as well as plants. Laura~ This is absoulotley true. I was asking this question too, thanks again.
Yes. Herbivore does mean plant-consumer in Latin.
The difference between a herbivore and a consumer, is that a consumer is a generic term for an animal that feeds on plants and other animals. A herbivore strictly feeds on plants.
a carnivore
No a rainbow fish is a herbivore, it is to small to be a carnivore.

If the antelope is a herbivore it would be a primary consumer. It just depens on what it eats.
