Lions, bears, wolves, etc all survived us

  Bears and wolves were indeed "removed" from parts of Europe by humans.

  There is a long list of Megafauna that did not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Pleistocene_extinctions https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Pleistocene_extinctions

    Ah yeah looks I wasn't on the mark here. The "outcompete" framing is more accurate for neanderthals but for many pleistocene extinctions "hunted to extinction" did happen in some cases so it was not a good comparison. Thanks!

  Barely and only because some of use decided to protect them.
