There was a wild woman lurking in the shadows with dark curly brown hair and eyes of a raven.

The wild man was running around naked, screaming that he had lost his pet monkey.

The wild animal had escaped from its cage and was now running around on the loose.

Everyone saw the lion as a wild beast because it had sharp teeth and claws and kept growling at anything and anyone it saw.

My closet was a mess of disorganized clothes and hangers, and everyone who saw it called it a wild thing.

I remember I had this friend during college who would always party. She was really one wild woman.

His grieve and loss of his wife led him to become a drunk and have hallucinations. He was taken to a psychiatrist, and we never saw that wild man again.

As I was walking through the forest, I saw something with white fur and long ears. It must have been a wild animal!

After the murder of his sister, he was filled with hatred. That led him to become a wild beast, hungry for revenge.

My dog is always jumping around and can never sit still. He sure is a wild thing!

  • Wild Woman: Labelled by society as a “wild woman,” she lived happily knowing that she lived life by her own rules.
  • Wild Man: He used to live a life in loafers, but now the people in town know him as the “wild man” with feet hardened by the earth.
  • Wild Animal: After escaping the world of domesticity, the housecat now roamed the empty streets as a “wild animal.”
  • Wild Beast: “Capture that ‘wild beast,’” they said, but little did they know, that beast was someone’s pet. 
  • Wild Thing: Greg was a seemingly normal person, but the “wild thing” about him was that he poured milk in before cereal.
