Wild refers to animals that are not domesticated or being cared for (e.g. fed).
spp. refers to all species in that taxonomic group

Note: Feral Horses are not included on the pest animal list, as they are restricted to Namadgi National Park and are not established across a range of land tenures. An effective Feral Horse management plan has already been developed and is in place to deal with Feral Horse problems in the ACT.
