There is always the possibility of consumption, it happens. What kind of lions are these? I tried to mix the dwarf fuzzies a few times and both tries ended in failure, they can be antagonistic with their own kind.
Anyway, you wan to know how it got to the other side of the divider? It probably jumped. I thought my one fuzzy ate the other, but it turns out that he actually chased him right out of the tank - I found the dried fish about three weeks later behind the tank.
When you mix them again try and watch them for a good while to discern their behavior.
