attashe74 [19]

On the second trophic level, there are primary consumers, herbivores that eat plants, for example, a deer, a rabbit, a grasshopper. The next trophic level belongs to secondary consumers that eat herbivores, for example, a wolf, a fox. The highest level is tertiary consumers that eat carnivores, for example, a bear, an eagle.
