Lion cubs are potential prey for hyenas, giant snakes, and Birds of Prey -- and of course male lions seeking to take over the pride.
Of course, death by the being kicked, thrown, gored, or stomped by an animal that sees a lion as prey (the elephant can do all of those) or being speared or shot in defense (which humans do) is not predation. One animal that can eat an adult lion is the salt-water crocodile. A National Geographic film shows a lioness chasing a zebra into shallow, but crocodile-infested waters. The zebra capable of keeping its body largely above water and legs on the bottom of the pond was able to get through with fewer bites. The lioness, with its low profile, was unable to protect itself from the crocodiles and disappeared; it was assumed to have been eaten. A lion would likely fare badly against a killer whale, salt-water crocodile or large predatory sharks such as the Great White which eat seals decidedly larger than any lion. Lions are mediocre swimmers at best and are highly unlikely to encounter any of them. I would make no guess about a walrus, elephant seal, alligator, bear, tiger, Komodo dragon, or anaconda not in its range. A large enough pack of dogs or wolves would probably kill an isolated lion. Note well that wolves and dogs hunt and kill much like lions.
Although lions are gigantic, lionesses are not much larger than humans and the largest breeds of dog. Any animal capable of killing a large domestic dog (which has obvious similarities of behavior and build to the Big Cats) as prey would likely kill a lioness, too.
A decrepit lion -- ill or crippled -- is likely prey for another predator.
A lioness in a pride is much like a dog or wolf in a pack -- something to be avoided by any creature that values its own life.
Lions can be attacked by hippos and crocodiles
Lions preditors are not animals but yet, people. People hunt, and sometimes kill lions just for their fur. The other big cats are hunted then killed for their fur too. This fur is used to sell, make money, and make products

Lions have no natural predators. Lions are Apex Predators that are on the top of their food chain and have no natural predators that can kill adult lions. However young lions are vulnerable to Hyena's. Also, adult Elephants, Rhino's or Hippo's can injure or even kill lions when there is a face off but that happens very rarely.

The only animal that occasionally preys on lions is the Nile crocodile.
Predators of lions include other large carnivores such as hyenas, leopards, and sometimes crocodiles. However, adult lions are apex predators in their ecosystems and are not regularly preyed upon by other animals.
White lions, like other lions, have predators such as hyenas, leopards, and crocodiles. However, due to their rarity and protected status, they are not as commonly targeted by predators as other species.
Lions (carnivores) are predators of zebras (herbivores).
Except humans and male lions, there are no major predators for the lions

Golden eagle's predators are mountain lions and leopards. Bald eagle's predators are mountain lions and alligators. Harpy eagle's predators are jaguars, mountain lions, tree pythons, and boa constrictors. Philippine eagle's predators are pythons.
