Other definitions include animals that have changed from being domesticated to being wild, natural, or untamed. The removal of feral species is a major focus of island restoration.Ī feral animal is one that has escaped from a domestic or captive status and is living more or less as a wild animal, or one that is descended from such animals. As with an introduced species, the introduction of feral animals or plants to non-native regions may disrupt ecosystems and has, in some cases, contributed to extinction of indigenous species.
A feral (from Latin fera 'a wild beast') animal or plant is one that lives in the wild but is descended from domesticated individuals.
