What percentage of energy is passed from one animal to another when it is eaten?

Typically, only about 10% of the energy from one trophic level is passed on to the next level when an animal is eaten. This is known as the 10% rule in ecology, where the remaining energy is lost primarily through metabolic processes as heat, movement, and waste. Consequently, the energy available decreases significantly as it moves up the food chain.
