A tertiary consumer is an organism that eats secondary consumers. An example of this would be shark. The shark could be a tertiary consumer because the shark eats a fish which eats zooplankton which eat phytoplankton. The phytoplankton is the primary producer, the zooplankton is the primary consumer, the fish is the secondary consumer which makes the shark the tertiary consumer.

However, 10 examples of tertiary consumers could include,(1) killer whale's,(2) great white's, (3)lion's,(4) tiger's,(5)gorilla's. Also be advised in a smaller ecosystem such as a pond you would have something more like a (6) raccoon most likely as your tertiary consumer. (7)grey wolf,(8)grizzly bear(9)alligator(10)humans. Humans will always be at the top of any food web even though we don't eat a lot of the other tertiary consumers we're quite capable and by far mentally superior to any species on earth.
