For example: “A right whale, one of the largest creatures in the ocean, exhibits heterotrophy. It feeds on plankton, some of the smallest organisms in the ocean”. An organism that eats other organisms can be defined as heterotrophic.

The consumers in food webs are called heterotrophs and they consume the organic material made by the autotrophs. Heterotrophs cannot make their own food so they are dependent on the autotrophs for survival….

Autotrophs are called producers, because they produce their own food. Herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores are consumers. Killer whales, or orcas, are a classic example of tertiary consumers.

Once again, the killer whale is at the top of food chain, on a five level food chain they are labelled the Quaternary consumer. With seals being the Tertiary consumer, they are only one down.

For example, the rockfish is a primary consumer because it eats phytoplankton, and at the same time a secondary consumer because it eats sea urchins.

Tertiary Consumers By: Quinlan Cauger The Leopard Seal eats mainly penguins including the King, Adelie, Rockhopper, Gentoo, and Emperor penguin species. Its predators are the Killer Whale and some large sharks. This seal lives in the Antarctic and sub-antarctic oceans.

Tertiary Consumers: Seagulls, penguins, elephant seals, whales.

Baleen whales, such as the blue whale, though very large, tend to eat krill, so they would be classified as secondary consumers. Seabirds, such as seagulls and Laysan albatrosses, consume a variety of other organisms, including squid, fish, and crustaceans, so they would be considered tertiary consumers.

Examples of secondary consumers: Carnivorous fish, seals, sea stars, whales, squid, some crabs ,lobsters etc. Some examples of tertiary consumers: Dolphins, sharks, killer whales, some sea birds etc. Apex predators: Some tertiary consumers are considered apex predators.

These organisms typically include larger reef fishes,Trigger fish,Parrot fish,Surgeon fish, lobsters and sea turtles. Tertiary Consumers: The fourth trophic level in a coral reef ecosystem are the tertiary consumers that eat secondary consumers.

Squids are predators. They eat fish, crustaceans (like shrimp), crabs and even other squids. They are secondary and tertiary consumers, meaning they eat herbivores and other carnivores.

Consumer: An organism that eats food in the form of other organisms, plants, animals or a mixture of the two. In the Antarctic food chain krill are primary consumers and baleen whales, penguins, seals and many kinds of fish and other birds are secondary consumers when feeding on krill.

Wolves are categorized as either secondary or tertiary consumers. However, in many food chains, wolves are apex predators.

Hawks are carnivores that eat toads. Therefore they are one trophic level higher than toads. They are considered tertiary consumers.

Arctic wolves, arctic foxes, and snowy owls are at the top of the food web as secondary consumers because they consume the primary consumers.

They must eat plants or other animals. Consumers that eat plants are called herbivores. Rabbits are herbivores. Decomposers break down the bodies of dead plants and animals.

Tertiary Consumers- Snakes, Bears, Owl, Hawk, Wolves, Foxes, and Coyotes. Quaternary Consumers- Wolves and Bears. Top Level Consumers- People, Wolves, and Bears. The Scavengers- Raccoon and Crows.

Polar bears are the only animal predators of Arctic wolves.

United States Fish and Wildlife Service concludes that wolves are very shy of humans but are opportunistic hunters and will attack humans if the opportunity arises and advise against “actions that encourage wolves to spend time near people”.

A Manitoba Conservation official has found evidence that wolves near Hudson Bay have learned to hunt polar bear cubs. “This is the first strong indirect evidence I’ve ever seen of wolves preying on a polar bear cub. They probably killed the cub and dragged it away.

Gray Wolf Subspecies: Eurasian Wolf The gray wolf is known for its impressive stamina! For example, a gray wolf can steadily trot at around 10 kilometers per hour for a very long period of time. However, gray wolves can also run fast! At most, a gray wolf can chase its prey at almost 70 kilometers per hour!

The lion (Panthera leo) is one of the four big cats in the genus Panthera and a member of the family Felidae. With some males exceeding 250 kg (550 lb) in weight, it is the largest cat species apart from the tiger. Adult tigers can run as fast as 30-40 miles per hour in short bursts.

According to this page, the average top speed of the Tiger is faster than the average top speed of the Leopard. The average top speed of the Cheetah is 112 kilometres per hour / 70 miles per hour, which makes them the fastest animal of the big cats, or indeed any animal that moves on foot.

Description:Bengal tigers live in India and are the second largest of all tigers. It has no wild predators because of its large size and power….Is a Horse faster than a Tiger?

Usain Bolt

Buffalo racer Srinivas Gowda who is ‘faster than Usain Bolt’ is groomed for Olympic glory. A buffalo racer has become an overnight national sensation and been hailed as India’s “Usain Bolt” after claims that he smashed the 100m world record while running in a paddy field.

Is 20 mph Fast For a Human? Yes, If you run the entire hundred metres in 20mph, you will get a time of 11.1 seconds.
