WILDLIFE:
- Animals that live in nature, away from people.
- Wild animals collectively; the native animals (and sometimes plants) of a region or area.
FOR EXAMPLE:
- The WILDLIFE in Hawai’i is limited – there are no snakes, no monkeys and no bears.
- The Amazon Rainforest is full of WILDLIFE, some of which we’ve never seen before!
Here’s a great example of the idiom, in a song full of other idioms!
Talking Heads Wild Wild Life Lyrics
I ride a hot potato
It’s tickling my fancy, speak up, I can’t hear you
I got some news to tell ya about some wild, wild life
Here comes the doctor in charge, she’s got some wild, wild life
You wrestle with your partner
Sittin’ on a window sill but he spends time behind closed doors
On the way to the stock exchange, he got some wild, wild life
Break it up when he opens the door, he’s doin’ wild, wild life
Thought control, you get on board anytime you like
Sleeping on the interstate, getting wild, wild life
Checkin’ in, a checkin’ out, I got a wild, wild life
Spending all of my money and time, done too much wild, wild life
We wanna go, where we go, where we go, I doing wild, wild life
I know it, that’s how we start, got some wild, wild life
Paint a picture of me in the daylight and it’s a wild, wild life
You’ve grown so tall, you’ve grown so fast, wild, wild
I know that’s the way you like it, living wild, wild, wild, wild, life
