Answer:
Pets are lovable critters you keep in your home that can be your companion. Wild animals are animals that aren't looked at as what should be pets, because most people agree that, "They should be left in their natural habitat."
Domesticated species such as cats, dogs, and other animals intended as pets life their lives in long-term dependent (human) situations.
This is not the case for wildlife, wild animals are not dependent on humans for their survival. Most of them are pretadors.
