What place in the food web is a cheetah?

Here's why:

* Primary consumers are herbivores that eat plants.

* Secondary consumers are carnivores that eat other animals (primary consumers). Cheetahs eat gazelles, zebras, and other herbivores.

* Tertiary consumers are carnivores that eat other carnivores (secondary consumers). While a cheetah might occasionally scavenge on a carcass from another predator, they don't typically hunt other carnivores.

Therefore, the cheetah's position as a predator of herbivores places it firmly in the role of a secondary consumer.
