Digestion occurs in the stomach and the duodenum through the action of three main enzymes: pepsin, secreted by the stomach, and trypsin and chymotrypsin, secreted by the pancreas.During carbohydrate digestion the bonds between glucose molecules are broken by salivary and pancreatic amylase.The digestion of certain fats begins in the mouth, where short-chain lipids break down into diglycerides because of lingual lipase. The fat present in the small intestine stimulates the release of lipase from the pancreas, and bile from the liver enables the breakdown of fats into fatty acids.DNA and RNA are broken down into mononucleotides by the nucleases deoxyribonuclease and ribonuclease (DNase and RNase) that are released by the pancreas.

Gelneren [198K]

To scientifically answer the question using scientific reasoning, explaining generally why it makes sense that the lion population is taking longer to recover than the herbivore populations is that;

The herbivore populations have enough food in the ecosystem,this food is in the form of flora,and this food they get keep their energy flowing and also has a way of ensuring their high recovery rates.

Then looking at the lion population,on the contrary,they have to depend on feeding on smaller animals this is because the larger animals reproduce at a smaller pace, and lions with a smaller prey,lions don't get enough and adequate food/nutrition for themselves and also for their pride of lions,this ascertains the fact that lion population take a longer time to recover than it's counterparts which is the herbivores.
