“What is a wild animal?” I ask the group of postgraduate students positioned around the table. They find my question both confusing and perhaps slightly condescending. These individuals are mature professionals, biologists and veterinarians who have already attained some experience working with ‘wild’ animals. My question however, is designed to kick-start a series of problem-based learning (PBL) sessions focusing on captive wild animal health and welfare. Five minutes later they are engaged in a lively discussion dissecting a potential definition based on both opinion and literary evidence. The dictionary explanation would suggest that a wild animal must be ‘living in the natural environment’ – ‘not domesticated’. How then does this alter both the way in which we view and manage the large number of animals in wildlife parks and zoological collections around the world?
