What is what does feral mean?

Feral refers to an animal that has escaped from domestication and reverted to a wild state, or to an animal that was born in the wild and has never been domesticated. Feral animals can be found in many different species, including cats, dogs, horses, pigs, and goats. They often exhibit behaviors that are different from their domesticated counterparts, such as being more aggressive or fearful of humans. Feral animals may also have physical adaptations that help them survive in the wild, such as sharper teeth or stronger limbs. Feral populations can sometimes cause problems for humans, such as by damaging crops or spreading disease, and may need to be controlled through hunting or relocation.
