The organisms that feed on both plants, as well as animals, are called omnivores. For example pigs, bears, mice, etc. Humans and chimpanzees are also omnivores.

They will come to the third trophic level as they are secondary consumers. This means they will come above herbivores (primary consumers) that can eat only plants. And below carnivores (tertiary consumers) which feed only on flesh.
