Food Webs and Food Chains
Food Chains:
A food chain is a chain showing us what animals eat. The arrows are going to the right because the hawk eats the snake, the snake eats the squirrel, and so on. A food chain is limited because there's a bottom and a top, it isn't a web where there's different animals. They all don't have a pattern but in a food chain they all have a pattern. 
Food Webs:
A food web is a web of different animals that eat animals but does not have a special pattern. The producers are the leaves and the berries. The omnivores are the bear and the fly. There are no carnivores . The herbivores are the moose, and the deer. The secondary consumer is the bear. Every animal can be a consumer at any and every level.
