Did you know?
Lions generally do not eat other large predators like hyenas, leopards, and cheetahs, nor do they hunt massive, dangerous animals like healthy adult elephants, rhinos, and hippos.
Lions rarely consume other carnivores.
This includes Hyenas,Leopards and Cheetahs
Meat from other carnivores carries a higher risk of sickness.
Lions view these animals as enemies or competition for territory, not as food.
Eating herbivores provides more energy than eating other meat-eaters (known as the 10 percent energy rule).
Lions will kill these rivals to protect their space, but they usually leave the body behind.
