Lions are Apex predators who hunt as a group. So, they can hunt almost any mammal that lives in the forest with them. They have been known to prey on Gazelles, Buffalos, Zebra, Warthogs and even an occasional Giraffe or elephant calf. Lions are ambush hunters. They hunt as a group. They stay low and hidden and go near an unsuspecting prey like a Gazelle or a Zebra and then once sufficiently close, they sprint and take down the prey. All animals of the pride take part in the hunt.

Lions eat antelopes, gazelles, warthogs, wildebeest, buffalos and zebras.
It depends on which subspecies you're talking about. The most famous one is the African lion, but there is also the Asian lion. The African lion eats mainly buffalo, wildebeest, impala, and small types of antelope like duiker, steenbok, and reedbuck. The Asian lion feeds mainly on deer, wild boar, antelope, and water buffalo. Asian lions are in found in the Indian Gir Forest, and African lions are mainly in Sahara desert and the Savannah areas
zebra, wildebeest, buffalo, deer, warthogs, different types of antelope.

sometimes they will hunt, giraffes, rhinos, hippos, and sometimes elephants if they're hungry enough
