Not even lions will generally try to eat people. Once in awhile there will be a rogue lion, but we're not seen as "prey." If one attacks a person it's probably doing it defensively. If a lion assumes you as a friend, you can possibly snuggle up like a house cat and people do.
Read this, please:
Yes, Lions Will Hunt Humans If Given The Chance
And note:
Quote:Since not all attacks are reported, it's hard to put numbers on the number of lion attacks seen globally. Estimates range from 20 to 250. Tanzania has the highest population of lions in Africa, and between 1990 and 2004, the country saw 593 deaths and 308 injuries from African lion attacks.

Yep, defending territory.
