No. Lions hunting giraffes is predation, not parasitism.

Parasitism requires one animal or creature using another animal or creature for its benefit while the used creature suffers. A predator kills a different animal to consume it.

How is symbiotic relationship different from predators prey relationship?

A symbiotic relationship involves 2 species livingtogether. Mutualism is when both benefit. Commensalism is when one benefits without harming the other. Parasitism is when one species benefits while harming--but not killing--the other. An example of parasitism would be a tick on a dog. If the dog died, it would stop pumping blood for the tick to consume. In predator-prey relationships, most often one party must die for the other to benefit.


Is a gray green mold grows over an orange an example of parasitism?

The mold is there because it has a role in which must be played in Nature-to break down organisms. It will take over the orange so it will be overcome by it. In a way it is a form of parasitism. I'm not sure if I would call it parasitism. A parasite usually affects a living organism, if the mold was growing off of a living orange tree then it would be a parasite, but as for an orange? I would consider it more of a decomposer then.
