Third-level consumers, or tertiary consumers, are carnivores who eat primary and secondary consumers. This almost NEVER happens, but there is sometimes a level higher than the tertiary consumers that eats them. A red fox, an eagle, an killer whale, and a lion, are third-level consumers.Click to see full answer. Consequently, what is a third level consumer?In some ecosystems, there is a third level of consumer called the tertiary consumer (that means third level). These are consumers that eat the secondary and primary consumers. A tertiary consumer could be a wolf that eats the cat and the mouse. There are also consumers called omnivores.One may also ask, is a Fox a first level consumer? Rabbits eat plants at the first trophic level, so they are primary consumers. Foxes eat rabbits at the second trophic level, so they are secondary consumers. Similarly one may ask, what animals are 3rd level consumers? Third-level consumers are any organisms big enough to obtain energy by feeding off lower-level consumers. These are also called tertiary consumers. For example, in a forest ecosystem, snakes eat toads. Heron and large fish, such as bass and walleye, consume smaller fish, frogs and crayfish.Why are there only 3 top level consumers?The organisms that eat the primary consumers are meat eaters (carnivores) and are called the secondary consumers. Because of this inefficiency, there is only enough food for a few top level consumers, but there is lots of food for herbivores lower down on the food chain. There are fewer consumers than producers.
