nearby wildlife

Neighboring wild animals

Nearby wildlife refers to wild animals living in proximity to human habitation or activity—the deer in your backyard, the raccoons raiding garbage cans, or the birds at your feeder.

The phrase typically appears in contexts about coexistence, conservation, or potential conflicts between humans and animals.
