Elephant and Giraffe are not predators yet will fit in tangentially.
Tiger. Lion. Falcon. Hawk, Wolf. Fox and several more.
Vladimir Putin himself, besides Chess conferences, presided over the St.
Petersburg Tiger initiative:

The different Tigers, as chess pieces, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taikyoku_shogi, in Shogi variants are inspired by Siberian Tiger or called Amur Tiger nearby. The species east Asian range is now 7% of historic range and 400 in the wild make recovery possible beyond Primorsky Province.
[Coincidentally this morning, "it's a business decision" sleazily the CNN tv anchor says about
Barnum and Bailey's current-news pledge to phase out Elephants performing -- that is in no way "a moral decision." This new thread will include Elephant chess pieces too.]
What are the several Tiger-named chess pieces and how do they move?
