Seals are consumers

Close up image of a Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) face.

An ecosystem must contain producers, consumers, decomposers, and dead and inorganic matter. Seals are an example of consumers. They are unable to make their own food and so must eat other animals. Pictured is a Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii).
