An adult elephant has no real predators. Lions may take a very small baby elephant, but the adults guard them very well to prevent this. Elephants are plant eaters so they do not prey on anything.

∙ 15y agoThe elephant's size makes them hard for predators to kill. Leopards, lions, and jaguars will prey on baby elephants. At night, the adult elephants form a circle around the calves to protect them. During the day, an unlucky calf might wander away from the herd and be killed. Adult elephants have thick skin, making it hard to bite. Humans are a predator of elephants.

And also don't forget poachers...

What is an African elephants predator?
Elephants are probably the largest living mammals on earth. They don't have any natural predators that can attack a full grown elephant. However, In Africa lions and packs of hyenas have been known to attack an injured or extremely old elephant or an elephant calf that has strayed away from its herd. In Asia, a large adult Tiger or a Lion can attack a young elephant calf. Humans are the biggest enemies to elephants in all its habitats. Armed with guns hunters and poachers are the biggest threat to elephant numbers.
