Elephants can't run as fast as a horse first of all, and #2 why would a lion be chasing a horse anyways? Same thing with a kangaroo. Let's make sense out of this riddle first, then ask again.

I'm going to guess that the elephant, being on your left, is going the other direction, so in a moment he will have passed you and you can safely move over to the left.
Of course that only works in the US, because in the rest of the world, everyone drives on the wrong side of the road.

Stay on the merry go round till the operator stops it.
BEFORE getting off.
To get off now would be dangerous.
OK so I would'nt have got the M-G-R bit if it was'nt for the others but they would break their necks if they dont wait till the end.
Sh1t ! I spent so long answering it I wasnt the first.....

Even if this were real, as you all are going at the same speed, no-one is going to catch anyone. So no worries.

Wait for the Merry-Go-Round to stop, then get off of it. I know someone already answered it, but I wanted to answer it anyway. :]
