Lions are predators and are known to hunt and eat other animals in the wild. This may include herbivores like deer， zebras， giraffes， and others， as well as smaller animals like rodents and birds. However， lions usually do not eat dogs， and it is highly unlikely that they would prey on a domesticated breed like the Shiba Inu.
The reason for this is that lions generally go after animals that have a significant amount of meat on their bodies， which they need to sustain their large and powerful bodies. Shiba Inus are small dogs， and they do not provide enough nutritional value for lions to expend the energy required to catch and kill them. Additionally， lions usually hunt in packs and focus on larger prey that they can take down as a team.
Furthermore， Shiba Inus are commonly kept as pets in many parts of the world， including Africa where lions are found. These dogs are well-fed， well-groomed， and not readily available for hunting in the wild. It is much more likely that lions would focus on larger prey that are more abundant and provide them with the sustenance they need to survive.
In summary， while lions are known to be carnivorous predators， it is highly unlikely that they would eat a Shiba Inu. Lions need large quantities of meat to sustain their bodies， and the small size of a Shiba Inu does not provide enough nutritional value to make it worth the effort of hunting and killing. Additionally， Shiba Inus are usually kept as pets and not readily available as prey in the wild.
