A tertiary consumer is a carnivore (or omnivore, scavenger) at the top of a food chain. It eats the lower animals. A way to put this is we can number all of the ranks. 1 would be a plant, 2 would be a herbivore, 3 would be a predator and 4 would be the tertiary consumer.

Example of how it works:

Grass (producer) is eaten by a grasshopper (primary consumer) which is eaten by a rat (secondary consumer) which is eaten by a snake (tertiary consumer).
