In the Australian desert, five secondary consumers include the perentie (a large monitor lizard), the thorny devil (a lizard that feeds on ants), the spinifex pigeon (a bird that eats seeds and insects), the dingo (a wild dog that preys on smaller mammals), and the wedge-tailed eagle (a bird of prey that hunts various animals, including rabbits and rodents). These organisms play a crucial role in the desert ecosystem by regulating the populations of primary consumers and maintaining ecological balance.
