A wolf can be considered as both a secondary and primary consumer because they feed on both primary and primary and secondary consumers. As a secondary consumer, wolves can feed on plant eaters [primary consumers] such as elk which is an herbivore. As a tertiary consumer, wolf feed on secondary consumers such as deer.
