Wild has various meanings as indicated below.

General


  • wild may be used as an adjective to describe anything which lives in a natural environment (or exists in a "natural state"); see wildlife and list of wild foods. The term may also be used to describe the living conditions or behavioral characteristics of animals (eg. "wild animals") as well as humans (see human behavior). Animals or plants are no longer considered "wild" if they have undergone domestication, but may be called "feral" if they return to a natural state.
  • "the wild" may refer to a natural environment which is not affected by human activity: see wilderness, wilderness area. In epidemiology and computer security, a virus may be described as "in the wild" if its propagation through a population or system is uncontrolled.
