They eat many animals, but zebra, buffalo, and wild beast, and warthogs are favorites.

They also eat deer, Gazelles, and antelope. They creep up to the prey quietly, then they attack ferociously. if it is not a very fast animal, like a rabbit, they are willing to chase for food.
African lions eat all sorts of game that roam the savannas where they live.

like: wildebeest,zebra,antelope etc.

lions hunt in packs and are able to take down big game like rhinos.

all cats and dogs can eats grasses to aid in digestion
Lions are Apex predators who hunt as a group. So, they can hunt almost any mammal that lives in the forest with them. They have been known to prey on Gazelles, Buffalos, Zebra, Warthogs and even an occasional Giraffe or elephant calf. Lions are ambush hunters. They hunt as a group. They stay low and hidden and go near an unsuspecting prey like a Gazelle or a Zebra and then once sufficiently close, they sprint and take down the prey. All animals of the pride take part in the hunt.
