Wild and perhaps menacing (5)

I believe the answer is:

feral

(Other definitions for feral that I've seen before include "(Of an animal) running wild" , "Flare up, being fierce" , "Fierce, having reverted to wild state" , "Like a wild animal" , "Wild, untamed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
