Not quite - tigers still hunt humans, and several species of crocodile do as well. So does the odd leopard or lion, but I wouldn't count that as it's not typical or common behaviour.

After the critical failure the player decided to conduct a research into developing the so called "zombie virus" into a viable weapon of mass destruction with just "Amnesia", "Bestial", "Berserk", "Cannot Speak" "Infectious" and "Uncontrollable Appetite". She is also considering researching into different strains such as a variety without "Bestial" that might be able to easily use guns and other weapons, since we get that they would not be able to use them (at least not so easily) while having Bestial, is that correct?

Healthy lions continue to be driven to prey on humans when extreme weather events make it difficult for them to find their usual prey, and they continue to learn that some humans are perfectly helpless and edible.

And they continue to be exterminated in response to this. It's not really working out as a survival strategy.

Humanity constantly faces predation from dangerous, intelligent, tool using, pack hunting predators (other humans). It's currently a bit of a standoff.

Pretty much this. As per the part of the infected I may exterminate a few of them, but I doubt I would ever be able to get down more than a few dozens with guns and kitchen knives. Anyways it is quite probable that life will not be the same for me after seeing how a few hundreds of infected run down the street trying to feed on the average accountant, cashier or retailer xD
