Agrizoophobia is described as an irrational or abnormal fear of wild animals. This is not the same as a person who has a mere aversion to wild animals. Many of us would be frightened if we encountered a lion in the wild, for example, but experience no fear when viewing them at the zoo. The person with the condition will usually experience multiple, physical signs of extreme distress.

Successful treatments to overcome the fear are available.

You may have a fear of wild animals if you feel consistently anxious or panicked when thinking about or encountering them, avoid outdoor activities or locations where wild animals are present, or have physical symptoms such as increased heart rate or sweating in their presence. Consulting a mental health professional can help in understanding and addressing this fear.
