Answer:

Deer is a herbivore and it's diet mainly includes plants. Plant cell walls are made of cellulose and cellulose requires more time to be broken down by microorganisms in the small intestine. Thus, the small intestine of the deer needs to be sufficiently long for the cellulose to break down.

Lion is a carnivore and its diet mainly consists of meat. Meat is easier to digest compared to cellulose. Thus, the small intestine of a lion is shorter in length than that of a deer.
