Yes, but only if it is a baby, sick, or elderly.


No. A full grown elephant is too big to handle for even a pride of lions. But they may try to take down an injured or weak elephant or an elephant calf that has strayed away from its herd.
Very rarely- lions usually go after young calves (baby elephants) because they are much smaller, but a calf if rarely ever alone because elephants travel together and protect one another from predators. Lions prefer to hunt smaller prey, such as antelope, zebras, and sick or young animals because they are unable to take down large prey by themselves.
Yes, a pack of lions can take down an elephant,but only during the night. elephants have bad eye sight during the night so it is easy for the lions to sneak up.But, During the day the elephants can take down the lions.
It depends on the size, strength, and type of the elephant, plus the strength and quantity of the lion pack. Elephants usually travel together in herds to protect from attacks.

What Eats elephats?

Humans are the only predator that a elephant has. ADDENDUM: Humans are not elephants' only predator. Elephants are also hunted by lions, hyenas and wild dogs. Elephant calves are far more vulnerable to attacks from these predators and are frequently taken from the mother if there are no other adult elephants to help her defend her offspring. Large groups of lions have learned how to attack and kill juvenile elephants who have wandered away from the herd and lone adult elephants, too. These carnivores have to have large enough numbers and be hungry enough, though, to risk such a dangerous undertaking.
