I am not a expert on cats or lions but I would think they have retractable claws so they wont dull or ware them down when not in use and they may be able to move around and get closer to their game or food source quieter with them retracted.

How many claws does the lion have?

Lions have five toes on the front paws and four on the back paws. In between each toe is a claw. The "thumb", though, has a dew claw which is more curved and often is off the ground. (Even domesticated house cats have a dew claw on each "thumb" on their front paws.) The back paws do not have dew claws.
