They're both. About 60% of their meals are from hunting, about 40% are from scavenging.
Scavengers are typically eaten by larger predators such as carnivores like lions, hyenas, and vultures. These predators may hunt and attack scavengers to obtain their food or to eliminate competition for resources.

Scavengers feed on dead animals or plants, while predators hunt and kill live animals for food. Scavengers rely on already dead organisms for sustenance, while predators actively seek out and kill their prey. Additionally, scavengers play a role in decomposition and nutrient recycling in ecosystems, while predators help control populations of prey species.
Lions typically drag their prey to a more secluded area to eat, such as under a bush or in tall grass. This helps prevent scavengers from stealing their meal and minimizes the risk of other predators detecting them while they eat.
Humans are considered to be both predators and scavengers. As predators, humans actively hunt and consume other animals for food. As scavengers, humans also opportunistically feed on the remains of animals killed by other predators or from natural causes. This versatility in diet has contributed to human evolutionary success.
Mountain Lions are apex predators. They have no natural predators, however scavengers (vultures, foxes rats, etc) will feed on their remains.

African scavengers include: -Hyenas -Vultures -Black-backed jackels -occasionally predators (like lions) will scavenge also.
Scavengers.
Vultures and Lions are both scavengers.
Lions are apex predators, and vultures are scavengers, dueling with hyenas and jackals for scraps from the lion's kill.
Lions are at the top of the food chain they have no predators. However when they die the savanna scavengers (e.g. hyena and vultures) will eat their carcases.

Lions (carnivores) are predators of zebras (herbivores).
Vultures and termites are good examples of scavengers, as are owls and raccoons. Hyenas, lions (even mountain lions), wolves, coyotes, and tigers will chase the original hunters away from carrion. Crows often exploit roadkill.
Lions are apex predators. They are at the top of the food chain.
Except humans and male lions, there are no major predators for the lions
