Lions are carnivores. This means we can infer they are:
A
scavengers
B
predators
C
prey
D
make their own food
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lions are fierce predators that often stalk their prey before attacking. Their attacks cause prey to panic and disperse, allowing the lions to isolate and attack a weaker or slower individual. By hunting together, lions are able to exhaust and kill their prey.

Detailed explanation-2: -The simple answer to the question “What Do Lions Eat” is that they eat flesh and meat. In order to get meat they hunt other animals. Lion is an apex predator which means that it hunts most of the animals that are found in its habitat. This makes it the king of the jungle.

Detailed explanation-3: -The best-known examples of predation involve carnivorous interactions, in which one animal consumes another. Think of wolves hunting moose, owls hunting mice, or shrews hunting worms and insects. Less obvious carnivorous interactions involve many small individuals consuming a larger one.

Detailed explanation-4: -noun. pre·da·tion pri-ˈdā-shən. Synonyms of predation. : the killing by one living organism of another for food. These small fish are most vulnerable to predation just after sunset, when larger fish, such as barracuda and jacks, chase them into the shallow water near shore to feed on them.
