If stalking is too difficult, a group of lions may decide to ambush their prey instead. Running very quickly at an animal forces it to run towards other lions, or into bushes, where it will be trapped. Working together like this means that the lions are much more likely to catch their prey. Lions have even been known to climb trees and jump on top of unsuspecting elephants as they walk underneath!

Lions are good at working together to catch their prey, but they are terrible at sharing and will fight over their food. Often smaller, weaker lions go hungry, while the others are first to have their fill. Depending on the size of the kill, they may not get anything at all. Lions are also scavengers and will happily steal food from other animals, or eat leftovers after a kill.

This means than when other carnivores have caught prey, lions will often bully them into giving up their meal. If there are more hyenas than lions, often they will get to hold on to their food. Even the biggest clan of hyenas is no match for a male lion though. The King of Jungle always wins! This is not because they are thirsty, but because they know prey animals will come to drink sooner or later. They can lay patiently in wait until dinnertime.

Areas with a lot of water often flood, so lions literally have to jump in at the deep end to catch their food. Because swimming is such good exercise, these lions are often very large and muscly, just like Olympic swimmers! Lions are carnivores, which means they are animals that only eat meat. Some of the types of prey they catch include birds, hares, turtles, mice, lizards, wild hogs, wild dogs, antelopes, cheetahs, buffaloes, leopards, crocodiles, baby elephants, rhinoceros, hippopotamuses, and even tall giraffes!

Lions are believed to feed every three or four days, and need on average between 5kg and 7kg of meat a day. The strongest male lion will eat first, followed by other members of the pride.

Lionesses will feed themselves first, with cubs getting the scraps. Lions sometimes become the victims of their intended prey. In order to get meat they hunt other animals. Lion is an apex predator which means that it hunts most of the animals that are found in its habitat. This makes it the king of the jungle. No predators hunt lions to eat them; however, they do have a few natural enemies, such as hyenas and cheetahs.

Hyenas compete with lions for food and often try to steal their kills. Lions are actually omnivores meaning they eat both meat and vegetable material. Second, Lions may eat grass if they have an upset stomach. Eating grass causes irritation to the stomach and will often cause the dog to vomit.

Lions and Hyenas scavenge a great deal from other predators such as the Leopard, Cheetah and Wild Dog. To overcome the stealing of their food by other predators Cheetahs eat very quickly once they have killed in order to prevent scavenging by others. Privacy Policy Sitemap. What do lions eat?
