That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
An apex predator is a predator that is at the top of the food chain and has no natural predators of its own. Lions fit this description as they are powerful and skilled hunters, capable of taking down large prey such as wildebeest and buffalo. They are not preyed upon by any other animal in their natural habitat, making them an apex predator. Deer, catfish, and tortoises are not apex predators as they are either herbivores or lower in the food chain, being preyed upon by other animals.
