Lions usually eat meat.The lions' main prey items are wildebeest, zebra, and buffalo. Pretty much the same as spotted hyenas which is why there is often so much competition between the two.

In rare cases they've been known to take down adult giraffes, hippos, and sometimes even elephants.

When they are very hungry and there is no food, lions are known to eat one of their cubs.
