Humans are apex consumers.
- Apex predators, also referred to as prime predators or large predators are predators just at top of the chain who have no natural predators.
- Apex predators are generally characterised with regard to trophic ecology, which means they are over top of the food chain. On land, food chains are often much shorter, with secondary consumers - for example, wolves feed primarily on huge herbivores (primary consumers) that eat vegetation (primary producers).
- Food chains include at least three components: producers that make food from sunlight, such as most plants, main consumer herbivores who eat plants, and later consumer levels who eat the herbivores. Omnivores, which engross both animals as well as plants, are also present. There will be a producer, the main consumer herbivore, and a secondary human consumer in a three-organism food chain that includes humans.
- Although human trophic levels grow with meat-eating, humans are not considered apex predators since their diets are often diversified.
