By eating them or hunting them down for the fun of it. But, actually if you ever taken even an intro to Biology class, you will know, that no wild animal can hunt it's prey to extinction. The food chain is in a balance, the more antelope the lions kill, the less antelope there is to feed the lion. when there is less food, the predators have nothing to eat, so they die. When more lions die, there is more antelope to feed more lions. Only humans have been to known to hunt something to extinction because we have no survival needs for those animals.

∙ 9y agoYes, that can happen. For instance, a predator might evolve to become reliant on a single species of prey. Then, when that species of prey disappears, the predator could be unable to adapt and go extinct.

∙ 12y agoNatural predators do not tend to cause other animals to be extinct, but introduced predators such as foxes and feral cats certainly have a significant impact on populations. Another example of an invasive species is the brown tree snake. This species was introduced to Guam and has decimated a large portion of the island's birds.
In Australia, the introduction of the dingo was believed to be a factor in the extinction of the Tasmanian devil and the Thylacine (Tasmanian tiger) from mainland Australia. However, this was not because the dingo preyed on the Tasmanian devil and thylacine, but because it proved to be too great a competitor for the food.
