Secondary consumers occupy the third trophic level in a food chain. They feed on primary consumers (herbivores), so they are typically carnivores or omnivores.
Examples: a frog that eats insects, a small fish that eats zooplankton, snakes, and many predatory birds. In real ecosystems (food webs) some animals are omnivores and can function at more than one trophic level, but secondary consumers generally sit above primary consumers and below tertiary consumers.
