Which type of animal is more likely to die during the earlier life stages because they are major parts of the food chain?

Primary consumers

The primary consumers are the herbivores which consume producers (plants). They are likely to die during the early stages of their life cycle such as zooplanktons, insects, rats and others. They are abundantly available and hence are the source of diet for various higher animals.
