The undomesticated have a turbulent existence (8)
I believe the answer is:
wildlife
'the' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'undomesticated have a turbulent existence' is the wordplay.
'undomesticated' becomes 'wild' (similar in meaning).
'have' says to put letters next to each other.
'a turbulent existence' becomes 'life' (being alive. I am not sure about the 'turbulent' bit.).
'wild'+'life'='WILDLIFE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for wildlife that I've seen before include "All undomesticated living things" , "Creatures in their natural habitat" , "one looks for on safari" , "All untamed creatures" , "Native creatures" .)
