Butterflies are primary consumers in the food chain. The larvae feed on leaves while the adults sip nectar. Different from other primary consumers, butterflies and plants are mutually dependent.

Lions can eat fox and thus it will be on the next trophic level which is a tertiary consumer. A lion is a tertiary consumer in both grassland and forest ecosystems.

Some species, such as the  Desert Turtles, are considered carnivorous and eat primarily animal protein as they consume plants and desert plants from producers.

# data[].attributes.body
Jack Rabbits are a secondary consumer because they eat butterfly's and plants to get their energy and survive in the desert.

# data[].attributes.body
Hawks are tertiary consumers and eat a variety of prey in the desert food chain, including snakes, lizards, foxes, rabbits and rodents.

Snakes eat mice and other rodents, which classes them as secondary consumers; they also eat frogs and other snakes, which classifies them as tertiary consumers.

# data[].attributes.body
The Fox is a secondary consumer because it is an omnivore and eats both plants and other herbivorous animals like mice or rabbits.

Since lizards can be herbivores, carnivores, or omnivores, their trophic level depends on the type of lizard and what it eats.

In the Mojave Desert, scorpions eat insects, so they are considered secondary consumers. Secondary desert consumers include the scorpion and various species of snakes.

When mice burrow into the soil around a houseplant, they may tunnel right down to the root system of the plant, decimating the roots and causing the plant to starve to death.

Rabbits, consuming grass is a  primary consumer and it directly depends on the green plants generall grasses for supply of food and energy.

Yucca so successful in its dry habitat is its root structure. Yucca roots are shallow and sprawling so they can quickly and effectively absorb every drop of water that becomes available. for primary consumers

# data[].attributes.body
As producers, the plants, in effect, create storehouses of solar energy, setting the dinner table, often impoverished in the desert, for the animals, the “consumers.” Plant-eating animals – the herbivores, or “primary” consumers – become the second link in the food chain.

# data[].attributes.body
The grass is the producer, so if it died the consumers that feed on it - rabbits, insects and slugs - would have no food. All the other animals in the food web would die too, because their food supplies would have died out.

Their blooms attract bees that harvest the pollen (and pollinate the plants) to feed their larvae. Their juicy fruits draw insects, birds, reptiles and mammals.
