Because of the distinction between Antagonist and Villain being that the latter is Wicked and or Evil?

And anthropomorphized is more than simply "talking animal", it is attributing to them human-like motivations, usually along with a human-like social structure (for example, the pride of lions in Lion King does not play up that males have more than one female as mates, so less lion nature and more human).

So *I* can accept that a distinction that once a story starts to give the animal ''human motivations" such as hunting one particular individual or group, the story has anthropomorphized them.

And not every story does that with their animals. Whereas the varied dinos from Primeval were never attributed such atypical motivations. They were all simply eating machines often out of their normal environs. Even the original Jurassic Park raptors learning to use door handles was telegraphed early in the narrative as their being "smart" as a species. Hell, 2 of my cats can open doors…
 * The Orca (Orca) was shown to be seeking revenge on the death of its mate and unborn child as indicated not only by its selective targeting, but the camera closing in on its eye as it watched the deaths of its family.
 * The lions in The Ghost and the Darkness were portrayed as on a vendetta and outthinking the hunters.
 * The afflicted animals of Zoo would count as they are no longer "normal".
 * While I reserve right to my opinion against Indominus rex, the fact that it is not a natural creature but gengineered make it suitable for inclusion.
