One of the amazing things in Zootopia is how they turned that on its head; in their research the producers discovered that only 10% of animals are preds, the rest prey. They built their story around that fact, making predators an unjustly feared (the feral "epidemic") and/or mistreated minority (Nick trying to join the scout troop).
In one of the supplemental features on the blu-ray there's concept art of how prey animals see predators (scary!) and how a predator sees prey animals (being crushed under a crowd of them)
