What are the primary consumers of the arctic?

Well, honey, in the Arctic, you've got your primary consumers chowing down on plants and algae like there's no tomorrow. We're talking about cute little critters like lemmings, voles, and Arctic hares, just living their best lives munching on vegetation. They're the bottom of the food chain, keeping things in check for the bigger predators to come in and snatch them up for a snack.
