there is not enough energy available to support more than 4 - 5 levels.

rewatch
In an energy pyramid, only about 10% of energy is transferred from one trophic level to the next. As the levels increase, the available energy decreases rapidly. Eventually, there is not enough energy to support organisms at higher - order trophic levels, which limits the number of levels to 4 - 5.
