Hmmm.... do snow leopard and Japanese macaque ranges overlap? Also, do Amur tigers and asian bears really take bactrian camels in the wild? Polar bears and Californian sea lions? A cheetah taking down a white rhino, really?
 
Bronx Zoo- Lions/Lowland Nyalas (as BZF already posted), Baringo Giraffe&Ostrich/African Wild Dog, Leopard/Javan Langur (or is it Silvered Leaf Monkeys)
Smithsonian National Zoo- Grevy's Zebra/Cheetah
 
Pretty much the whole Disney's Animal Kingdom safari exhibit. Predators on one side and prey on the other. The Greater Flamingos and Nile Hippos are in one pond on one side of the road and the Nile Crocs are on the other. The rest of the Predators/Prey animals can walk up to the border of the two anytime they want to.
 
ThylacineAlive- Actually the leopards can see the Malayan Tapir and the White-Cheeked Gibbons.
Beardsley Zoo doesn't intentionally do it but the Maned Wolves and Llama can see each other through fencing. However, they did intentionally do a predator/prey setup in their rainforest building. The ocelot exhibit is directly adjacent to the Howler Monkey/Saki exhibit and tall glass walls let the animals see each other. However, the two exhibits look nothing alike so it's somewhat hard to imagine them right next to each other. You can kind of see the ocelot/monkey setup in this video I found.
blospz- Cinzoo man has already posted that photo.

I thought about the Beardsley Zoo but I couldn't remember weither or not the wall between the Ocelot and the monkeys was glass. The back of the Bronx Zoo's Leopard enclosure is glass giving them a view of the monkeys in the previous room along with the Northern White-Handed Gibbons and whatever bird species fly over there. I don't think the Leopards can see the Malayan Tapir unless the barrier between the two exhibits is glass underneath the walkway. Also, can the Snow Leopards see the Red Pandas from the westernmost part of the exhibit.
I don't think Mystic or Maritime Aquariums have any predator prey setups.
I'm pretty sure the Roger Williams Park Zoo's Red Wolf (do they have more then one?) can see the Pronghorn from its exhibit.
Soon the Beardsley Zoo's Llama exhibit will hold Giant Anteaters so if the Maned Wolves can see into that exhibit then it does count as a Predator/Prey exhibit.

I think predator/prey exhibits are cruel for both predators and prey.
 
I believe the Cougars at Omaha can also see the peccaries.
On the Bronx Zoo's Asian Monorail I believe that the Amur Tiger can probably see whatever prey species is exhibited next to it.

I think in fact that Bronx had America's very first predator & prey exhibit.

What was it because the Lions used to be in what is now the Madagascar building. It wouldn't surprise me if they did.
Does the Bronx Zoo plan on reopening World of Darkness eventually.
 
A creepy way to think is that when a tiger, crocodile, or wolf looks at us through the exhibit walls, it is a predator/prey situation.
 
ThylacineAlive- They still have Cougars in the horrendous Cat Complex, which will be demolished soon. The Bronx did indeed have America's first prey/predator exhibit in African Plains. I don't know much about World of Darkness.
