Yes, lions are carnivorous. That means it only eats meat. Surprisingly, most animals are omnivores, that means they eat both plants and animals. But a lion's diet is only made up if things such as antelope, buffalo, and even zebras. It does not include plants in its regular diet.

Lions, like other wild cats, are pure carnivores. They feed exclusively on meat. Their preferred prey includes Zebras, Gazelle, Giraffe, wildebeest, buffalo, and so forth.

The only time they may eat a bit of grass is when they have a tummy ache.
