Yes, of course it would. The animals that lions eat would flourish in population numbers. The animals that lions eat may even become pests, and the animals that they eat would become endangered. This is because the more the population grows the more they need to eat. The lion is at the top of the food chain. If it becomes extinct, it throws the ecosystem of the area off. It is like a chain effect: without the lion, there really isn't any other predator to keep control of the quantities of animals there are. And that would completely throw off the balance of the world's ecosystems.

Yes it would because Tigers do something very important when the kill their prey. That is: Tigers usually pick off slow and injured animals as their prey, so it prevents the injured and the unhealthy from breeding which will keep that species clean of more unhealthy or injured animals.

There's lots of issues the extinction of tigers could have on the world. Every animal in the animal kingdom helps regulate the balance of the worlds ecosystem. If tigers were to become extinct, the herbivores they would hunt could overpopulate, and that could be bad for the forests, jungles and rainforests they get their vegetation from. It's to be expected that with the overpopulation they'd soon run out of vegetation to eat and start dying slowly, along with the forests they'd have to have eaten dry to get to that point.
