Yes, of course it would. The animals that lions eat would flourish in population numbers. The animals that lions eat may even become pests, and the animals that they eat would become endangered. This is because the more the population grows the more they need to eat. The lion is at the top of the food chain. If it becomes extinct, it throws the ecosystem of the area off. It is like a chain effect: without the lion, there really isn't any other predator to keep control of the quantities of animals there are. And that would completely throw off the balance of the world's ecosystems.

Almost certainly. Anytime you remove an apex predator from the environment, the entire food chain suffers. But happily, neither species are in any danger of extinction now. The world population of black bears is over 900,000, that of the brown bear over 300,000. Source; World Wildlife Fund
