Can lions climb trees?
Lions do not usually climb trees. Trees in Africa are the province of the leopard, who drags its prey up into trees to protect it from lions. Whether or not lions are able to climb trees depends entirely upon the size of the tree. They sometimes lounge in low (very strong) branches, and can pursue a leopard into a tree, provided (once again) the tree has low, very strong branches. But a leopard can always escape by climbing higher, because it is so much lighter and smaller than a lion. In addition, lionesses who have had male leopard's cubs (which rarely if ever happens in the wild but has happened in captivity), have shown great frustration when their cubs start climbing trees and they can't go up after them.

No. Apart from the fact that sea lions prefer a diet of fish, they are not usually found where koalas live.

And, to date, sea lions have not yet found a way to climb eucalyptus trees.

Do lions eat lepord?
They eat almost anything that moves around them. Lions are Apex predators who hunt as a group. So, they can hunt almost any mammal that lives in the forest with them. They have been known to prey on Gazelles, Buffalos, Zebra, Warthogs and even an occasional Giraffe or elephant calf. Unfortunately Leopards are expert tree climbers while Lions are too big to climb trees. They easily jump into trees and escape from lions.
Are parrots eaten by lions?
It is unlikely that parrots would be of any interest to lions who typically feed on much larger grazing animals on the savanna. The amount of energy to pursue a small parrot would not justify a lion to work so hard for a tiny tidbit of food.
