Food chains stop at top-level consumers, like lions and bears, because energy transfer between trophic levels is inefficient, with only about 10% of the energy passed on from one level to the next. This limits the number of trophic levels that can be supported, as higher levels require significantly more energy to sustain them. Additionally, top-level consumers often have fewer natural predators and a larger range of prey, making them less abundant in the ecosystem. As a result, the food chain cannot extend indefinitely and typically concludes with these apex predators.

Is a lion a second-level consumer?

Is a lion a secondary consumer or primary consumer?
Generally, no. Remember that tertiary level consumers must eat organisms which themselves would hunt (secondary level consumers). The diet of lions primarily consists of grazing animals such as gazelle, deer, zebras, etc. These are primary consumers (i.e. they eat plants), thus unless a lion eats a hunting animal (in rare instances, lions may hunt each other if food is scarce though this is the exception, not the rule) it is a secondary consumer.
