All animals feed on green plants, either directly or indirectly. Animals, like cattle and goat, directly eat plants, like grass and fodder. They are called primary consumers or herbivores. Animals like, tiger and lion, feed on these herbivores. In other words, they hunt and eat, cattle, goat etc. Such consumers, which feed on plants indirectly, are called secondary consumers or carnivores. These are some animals which feed on both producers as well as primary consumers. They are called omnivores. Animals, like bears, pigs etc., are omnivores. We, human beings, are also omnivores.
