A wild animal is any animal found in nature, or any animal that is not a pet. For example, you could talk about coexisting with an animal who perhaps made a home in your backyard (for example, there was a woodchuck that lived under my shed), or you could discuss the fear you felt when you came across a notoriously dangerous animal (for example, when I was camping, a black bear walked right in front of me). Pulling from your own examples, you could describe your emotions (fear, excitement, confusion, shock) and any lessons you learned (for example, I learned not to leave out food when I'm camping, unless I want some furry visitors!).
