Wild, in zoology or botany, is a rough if problematic antonym to domesticated: see wildlife. A wild animal is an animal that is not a domesticated animal — the common usage includes feral animals. A wildflower is, roughly speaking, a plant not of a garden variety . The Wild, in the sense of places little affected by human activity, is also a difficult notion. See wilderness, wilderness area.
