Maybe my issue is just not having enough length to get the proper detail. In the above image I had to crop probably 80% of the whole photo! For the below image, I think I cropped about 50-60%...

Yeah, cropping is your most likely culprit. 80% is a lot and the D4 has a relatively low pixel-density.
Shooting Canon, for animals, I try to shoot at 1/1200-sec and higher, at f/8 to f/11. That will often require an ISO of 800 or 1600 in all but the very best light. Depending on the subject, I'll bring the f-stop down to f/4.
