@chalon9 I went through your bison observations and marked them all as wild.
What this person doesn’t seem to understand is that even wildlife in Africa is managed. In eastern Africa, wild animals, from elephants to lions are treated for injuries etc. In southern Africa it is very common practice to manage the small populations of large predators and megaherbivores in the innumerable nature reserves and national parks as a ‘meta-population’, where these scattered isolated populations are managed as one single population: individuals are regularly transferred between reserves to promote the genetic health of the species and to prevent any one area from becoming ‘overpopulated’ (compromising the ecosystem in the area).
This person has an overly strict definition of what is “wild”.
As I discussed in this thread (Are restored ecosystems wild or cultivated?), mankind has been changing habitat and engineering ecological impacts for the benefit of itself for thousands of years ever since we mastered the use of fire. Does that mean that the creatures we “cultivated” by creating habitat favourable for them were not ‘wild’? Under the overly strict and simplistic sense, perhaps. However, as these animals do not live in association with man (even less than synanthropic species [rats, house sparrows, etc] that nobody has an issue with being wild), breed under their own control, and are key parts of ecosystems, they should be considered wild enough.
For the purposes of iNaturalist, if the offspring of an organism are able to spread/reproduce outside of human control, it is considered wild. This applies even to feral domestics that have escaped captivity (cats, goats, ‘razorback’ pigs, etc).
