Best Answer

Lions are at the top of the food chain. So no other animal would consistently prey on a lion. Only when the lion dies does scavengers eat them. Some scavengers include vultures and hyenas. Otherwise when lions are alive those same scavengers would be on the lions menu!
A pack of hyenas will fight the lion, but nobody eats the lion.

Lions don't have natural predators. Humans can be considered as the greatest threat to the lions.

Answer

If the lion is alone, a large group of hyenas will attack and prey on it. Crocodiles also have drowned and eaten lions like they would do to any animal that gets close to them or the water.

Lions are pretty much afraid of elephants, and some have been killed by elephants.

But . . . don't get into thinking that there is always something bigger and more fierce that will kill any predator! It might just be that the mightiest predator is killed by one of the smalles of animals: the bacterium.

Lions are mainly attacked by other lions. And sometimes - quite rarely - by hyenas.

A hyena, and mostly groups of them, have been known to challenge lions for food. The elephant is, too, an enemy, capable of trampling the lions when threatend or agitated.
