As humans we tend to think of ourselves as being distinct from the animal kingdom. In reality we are just one species in the many species
that comprise that kingdom. While there is just one species of humans in the world there is a diversity of species of animals and this diversity varies according to
geography. In the U.S. the dog species, for example, includes not just domestic dogs but also fox, coyote, and wolf. Whether human or dog or some other species,
all animals relate with their environment in very distinct patterns according to their location in the food chain and according with other environmental, and in the case of humans, cultural
factors. Humans not only occupy a top position in that relationship, however, they have the ability to greatly change the environment to meet their cultural demands. History has
shown this to be a potentially catastrophic situation from an environmental perspective. When considering mans place in the food chain, mans tropic level
in other terms, we must recognize that that place can vary in accordance with cultural factors as well as with the dynamics of a particular ecosystem. The food chain,
of course, starts with plants and those are eaten by herbivores and omnivores. Plants then are the first level and the herbivores and omnivores the second level. The
third level in the food chain is occupied by carnivores, by those animals that eat only meat. Predators such as fox and coyotes would be an example of a
carnivore. While it might be assumed that trophic levels are consistent across ecosystems, it is important to note that they can
