consumer decomposer scavenger producer
I gave my students this multiple choice question: American alligators are common in Florida wetlands. They are known to eat frogs, turtles, fish, mice, and birds. What role does an American alligator fill in its ecosystem?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- consumer
- decomposer
- scavenger
- producer

Could you tell me which one is correct?

consumer
