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.

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.
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.
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.
Untamed World - 1967 Predators and Scavengers was released on: USA: 1967
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 (carnivores) are predators of zebras (herbivores).

Hyenas are mostly scavengers, they usually follow around lions or other strong predators to eat leftovers, they are cowardly but i am pretty sure if provoked they MAY attack.
