Lions are apex predators that hunt a wide range of prey, including antelopes, zebras, and buffalo. While lions may occasionally encounter monkeys in their habitats, monkeys are not typically a primary prey for lions, as they are adept at moving quickly and efficiently through trees, making them difficult to catch.
If a lion were to encounter a monkey in its habitat, it may attempt to catch it, but the likelihood of success would be low. Lions use a combination of stealth, speed, and strength to catch their prey, but monkeys are able to quickly move away from predators and seek refuge in the trees. Therefore, the lion would likely have difficulty finding the monkey and would likely have to move on to find other prey.
