"A predator [like the lion] is an animal or other organism that hunts and kills other organisms, called prey, for food in an act called predation.
Predators are either carnivores or omnivores. Parasites may also consume other animals in part. Unlike in predators, for whom killing prey is necessary in order to consume it, it is usually undesirable for a parasite to kill its host, on or in which it lives."
"There may be hierarchies of predators; for example, though small birds prey on insects, they may in turn be prey for snakes, which may in turn be prey for hawks. A predator at the top of its food chain (that is, one that is preyed upon by no organism) [like the lion] is called an apex predator; examples include the great white shark, tiger and crocodile and even omnivorous humans (although, given the chance, some predators such as the Australian salt water crocodile will prey on humans). Such predators are often also keystone species, and as such may have a profound influence on the balance of organisms in a particular ecosystem; introduction or removal of this predator, or changes in its population density, can have drastic cascading effects on the equilibrium of many other populations in the ecosystem."

on top of where, your house? your stalker? terry hatcher?, if you mean the food chain then a lion is a predator so it will be on top, but in the case of sexual intercourse with tigers to produce the hybrid lygers then its almost always male tigers on top of female lions.
