Answer:
Lion is a carnivore obtaining nutrients from meat , whereas deer is a herbivore and obtain nutrients (especially cellulose) from plants.
Meat is comparatively easier to digest due to presence of peptidase proteins in the intestine of lions.
However , cellulose digestion requires \boxed{\beta \:amylase}
βamylase
enzyme and the digestion process is very complex.
So, herbivores (ruminants) have longer intestine (4 chambered) for complete digestion of cellulose obtained from plants.
