Side-note: That scene where the rabbit holds her child toward her after a tiger comes by would be a lot more visually interesting if it were a large "prey" animal (say, a giraffe) holding her child away from a small "predator" animal (say, an otter).
That's why I like the original plot with the shock collars better. You can really feel that the predators are the oppressed minority in it, as they're reprimanded for their ancestor's actions. Forced to wear shock collars if they get too aggressive or excited.
Instead we got a buddy cop film with a twist villain who didn't get enough time to be evil or at the very least scheming.
We could have had a scene or two where she was calling someone up or something—maybe Doug—that she didn't want to be found with. Heck, maybe she could cover up that note for Doug on the phone she had in her teeny little office.
You know where you are? You're in the jungle baby.
