Lions cannot occupy the same niche as zebras or polar bears because they have different dietary requirements and adaptations. Zebras are herbivores, specializing in grazing on grasses, while lions are carnivores that feed on herbivores like zebras. On the other hand, polar bears are adapted to the Arctic ecosystem and primarily feed on seals, which are not available in the habitat of lions. Different dietary needs and adaptations make it impossible for these species to occupy the same ecological niche.
