What trophic level do elk belong?

Elk are herbivores, meaning they eat plants. This places them at the second trophic level, also known as primary consumers.

Here's why:

* Producers (first trophic level) are plants that make their own food through photosynthesis.

* Primary Consumers (second trophic level) eat producers, such as elk eating grass, leaves, and other vegetation.

* Secondary Consumers (third trophic level) eat primary consumers, such as wolves eating elk.
