Name 4 Tertiary consumers of the Pacific Ocean
1. Killer whale (Orcinus orca): Killer whales are apex predators in the Pacific Ocean and feed on a variety of marine mammals, including seals, sea lions, and even other whales.
2. Giant Pacific octopus (Enteroctopus dofleini): These cephalopods are voracious predators and feed on a wide range of prey, including fish, crabs, and other cephalopods.
3. Bluefin tuna (Thunnus orientalis): As top predators, bluefin tuna feed on smaller fish, squid, and crustaceans, and play a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the food chain in the Pacific Ocean.
4. Basking shark (Cetorhinus maximus): Despite being filter feeders, basking sharks are considered tertiary consumers as they consume large amounts of zooplankton and other small organisms, indirectly relying on primary and secondary consumers as their food source.
