As your question is posted on the Zoology sub-directory, only naturalist observation should prevail and no human social context, neither hysteria.
Generally we consider that wild animals sexual behaviors are based only on natural forces targeted to "favor" or to regulate the reproduction and development of their own species.
Also there is so many kind and various sexual behaviors among animals that no one can establish a "normal" or standard way.
But when focusing on a very specie inside a same environment, then you can notice main "regular" habits even if some same gender individual will not act exactly as the common rule and then might looks like a "sexual predator" in comparison to his fellows.
But, when the female eats her male, in no way we can judge praying mantis or spiders according to our human values.
Anyway, the basic rule in nature is that the winner is the stronger or the smarter.
However, a few animals (as the african Bonobo monkey) use sexual behaviors not only for fecundation. They also use sexual pleasure to rule communication and group ties between every individual. Avoiding violence is another way to perpetuate their own species. Here too our human morals are far away. So sexual predation is not an apropriate meaning among Bonobo monkeys.
Then, we should keep use of the words "sexual predator" only to describe humans involved in some specific illegal sexual behaviors, and not for the animals world.

The term sexual predator is used pejoratively to describe a person seen as obtaining or trying to obtain sexual contact with another person in a metaphorically predatory manner. Analogous to how a predator hunts down its prey, so the sexual predator is thought to "hunt" for his or her sex partners. People who commit sex crimes, such as rape or child sexual abuse, are commonly referred to as sexual predators, particularly in tabloid media or as a power phrase by politicians

It's a sick sick person that should die a slow painful death over 2 days in jail. It's a person that gets his sexual joys from having sex with little old ladies, little kids (anybody under 18 years old), or anybody that doesn't want to have sex with them.
