Fair comment about withholding judgement. I’m ignorant about the subject entirely.
However, WTF is a “feral” horse? Is this what we used to call a “wild horse”? Feral sounds BAD like feral cats are bad. Is there a difference between a wild horse and a feral horse?
(I do know that horses were not native to North America 500 years ago. But neither was the “jumping mouse” as far as we know.)
Yes. I think they are the same in common usage. Feral technically refers to animals that used to be domesticated and have become wild. I think wild technically refers to never having been domesticated.
