    Still wild. An animal doesn’t stop being a wild animal because it was raised in captivity, I think. The opposite is domesticated. So, domesticated like dogs and cows, raised in captivity (like most animals in zoos) or raised in the wilderness. Travis was most definitely not a domesticated animal.

      Many pets are not really domesticated. They’re just tame because they grew up around humans. Cats are a good example for that.

        I can’t tell if you’re making a joke, but cats are definitely domesticated.
