In a food chain, each organism occupies a different trophic level. Smaller carnivores such as coyotes eat herbivores and they are eaten by larger carnivores. So the top level of the food chain is occupied by carnivores. Carnivores are animals that eat other animals. A tiger is an example of a top carnivore.
