A human, a lion, a mammal, reptile, bird, insect, arachnid, take your pick! Any animal that needs to eat other living matter to survive is a consumer.

A consumer would be a gopher and the wolf that eat the gopher.

your household pet is a good example. just try and get them to eat something they do not like [unless you half-starve them]. they 'will' let you know what they like and what they don't, and isn't that what being a consumer is, more or less.

Think of it this way:
consumers are animals who need other organisms for food.
a lion is one, and so is a bear.
