A lion is a carnivore. Its teeth are very sharp, to eat meat easily.

I hope this helps! It has large pointed canines for killing prey by piercing the neck veins, pointed incisors for nibbling meat from bones, and flattened molars and premolars with a scissor-like action for slicing flesh and crushing bones.
