Top carnivores like lion, leopard, tiger etc are mostly at the top of the food chain(teritiary consumers) & hence they get the minimum amount of energies from the lower tropic levels (10% law). Such amount of energy can't support large number of individuals, the more you are on the right side of food chain, the less amount of energy you get.
