A lion has only a few enemies, such as humans and crocodiles.
poisonous snakes and aliens
Cape buffaloes, hyenas, elephants, rhinos, hippos, crocodiles, and hunters.
A lion does not have any natural enemy because it remains top of the food chain
Lions are top predators. They are known to prey on giraffes, and even elephants on occasion - I once saw a pride of 26 lions kill an adult female elephant. Elephants sometimes kill lions that are attempting to kill their calves, but this is in defense of their offspring - they don't go out looking for lions to kill.
Other predators pose a significant threat to lion cubs. Hyenas, leopards, African wild dogs and so on will kill lion cubs when they can, mostly to reduce the competition for prey (though hyenas will eat the cubs they kill). Buffalo will also kill lion cubs, presumably to reduce the numbers of their main predator.
Adult lions fight with spotted hyenas - these are the two most powerful predators in Africa, and are competing with each other for prey. The two often clash over kills - each will steal from the other - and they will kill each other's cubs. Lions, particularly males, also kill adult hyenas when they get the opportunity. One hyena is no match for one lion, but in large numbers hyenas will take lions on. Even so, they are rarely able to kill them unless they find an old, sick or injured lion by itself.
Tigers and lions do not inhabit the same areas. Most lions live in Africa, where there are no tigers. There is a small population of Asiatic lions in the Gir Forest of India, but there are no tigers in this region. This lion subspecies was once more widespread in Asia, and its range overlapped in places with that of the tiger. The two would likely have avoided each other if possible as a confrontation would not be good for either, but they may have met and fought on occasion.
The only real threat to lions is humans. Hunting and habitat loss have drastically reduced their numbers, and they are still declining.
