Here's how it breaks down:
* Producers: Plants (grass, shrubs, etc.) are the base of the food chain.
* Primary Consumers: Herbivores (like ibex, blue sheep, marmots, and pikas) eat the plants.
* Secondary Consumers: Carnivores (like wolves, foxes, and snow leopards) eat the herbivores.
* Apex Predator: Snow leopards are at the top, meaning they have no natural predators to worry about.
They are highly adaptable and can survive in harsh environments with limited prey. They play an important role in maintaining a healthy ecosystem by controlling the populations of their prey.
