Lions and other lions fight to see who is the strongest. They also fight to see who will eat first and to protect their young from other prides.
Males typically live in a coalition of 2-7 lions. In order to take control of a pride of females they will need to fight the male lions already established within that pride to assert their dominance. The size and mane colour are used by lions to 'size each other up' in order to avoid physical fighting as often as possible.

There is only one mature male lion in any pride unless there is a cooperative relationship between two lions.
The Lion compete with other predators by trying to kill them at any opportunity, but the lion are so strong that the other predators will mostly completely avoid them.

If you're a wild animal, and a meat eater, there are only two options, either hunt and kill for yourself - become a predator, or find animals that are already dead and eat them - become a scavenger.
And while lions will happily eat off somebody elses kill, they also do a lot of their own hunting.

∙ 13y agoSome do. But one thing I know for sure-- lions like to eat baby cheetahs. It's sad. I learned about it in Science a couple of days ago.
Actually, there is no true competition between lions and cheetahs. They catch similar prey, though, of course the lion can kill much larger animals, but a cheetah will ALWAYS give up its kill and run away if a lion comes close.

∙ 7y agoLions are carnivores because they eat meat (carni = meat, vore = eater) and they're predators because they (often) hunt and kill animals to eat themselves.
