I believe the answer is:

hyena

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'wild carnivore' is the definition.
'hyena' can be an answer for 'carnivore' (hyena is a kind of carnivore). I'm not certain of the 'wild' bit.

'he gets involved with any' is the wordplay.
'gets involved with' indicates an anagram.
'he' with its letters anagrammed with 'any' can make 'HYENA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hyena that I've seen before include "Meat-eater" , "Dog-like carrion-feeding mammal" , "Dog-like scavenger" , "Spotted scavenger" , "Dog-like African carnivore" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
