Feral, in this setting, is usually used to describe domesticated animals (pets, livestock) that has escaped and are now living wild. It also means wild, aggressive, which are traits that tame animals that escape do tend to pick up as they live on their own.

In the right type of climate, pigs that go feral can do very well, sometimes mixing with the wild boar population.
