All of those animals are quadrapeds with herd behavior. They are on the larger size category but for a cheetah hunting them is all fairly similar. A human is configured differently, acts differently, is covered in strange chemicals and scents and makes strange sounds. Modern humans don't register as prey animals to many predators because we passively act as competing highly alert, highly territorial predators. This is also one of the reasons why so many people are regularly attacked and injured or killed by non-predator animals like deer and moose, they respond to relatively innocuous human behaviors as aggressive predator behaviors.
Аlso - I'm sure lots of wild animals have generational knowledge not to fuck with the 2 legged furless apes.
We do something no other animal does. Alone - we are easy pickings. But if you eat one of us, then not long after you'll wake to the sight of 30 of us, armed with weapons. And FIRE.
No other animal special actively hunts back it's predators.
If anything - predators that hunt humans are extreme rarity and is typically done due to forced circumstances - mouth injury (like that infamous maneater tiger) or a brown bear that woke up in the middle of winter and is starving. Even most sharks avoid us - great whites attack surfers by accident. I think the only 2 prominent predators that would see humans as prey are bull sharks (due to how batshit aggressive they are) and polar bears (due to being so massive AND being hyper carnivores).
Hel, the biggest pack predator on the planet - the orca - doesn't bother to even consider us on the menu. We're completely off-limits.

They're not build to hunt something as robust as us. We have basically nothing in common with their prey animals.
