Cubs face many other dangers, such as predation by jackals, hyenas, leopards, martial eagles and snakes. Even buffaloes, should they catch the scent of lion cubs, often stampede towards the thicket or den where they are being kept, doing their best to trample the cubs to death whilst warding off the lioness. Furthermore, when one or more new males oust the previous male(s) associated with a pride, the conqueror(s) often kill any existing young cubs, perhaps because females do not become fertile and receptive until their cubs mature or die.

Lions are also threatened by humans killing them for many different things, like if they become man-eaters or if they are eating domestic animals. Due to them losing territory to humans, many lions also face starvation.

Male lions are a threat to other male lions and, as said above, to cubs.
