A feral organism is one that has changed from being domesticated to being wild or untamed. In the case of plants it is a movement from cultivated to uncultivated or controlled to volunteer.
As with any introduced species, the introduction of feral animals or plants to non-native regions may disrupt ecosystems and has, in some cases, contributed to extinction of indigenous species. Feral species may however eliminate "problem" species such as rodents, harmful insects, or aggressive plants. Likewise returning lost species to their environment can have beneficial effects, such as bringing damaged ecosystems back into balance.
The word feral used to describe domesticated species returning to the wild derives from Latin fera, "a wild beast".
One of the numerous dictionary definitions of a feral animal states that a feral animal is an animal which has escaped from a domestic or captive status and is living more or less as a wild animal. Other definitions realize the shortcomings of the first definition and simply say that a feral animal is an animal which has changed from being domesticated to being wild, natural, or untamed.

Plot: In a world where sex is as easy as turning on a laptop, Greg Whitkin can't get enough. To his colleagues, Greg is an upright architect coping remarkably well with the unexpected death of his wife. But to the countless Internet porn sites and paid escorts he retreats to every night, Greg is an addict. The only teenage girl Greg wants nothing to do with is his own stepdaughter, Lara. Stuck in Greg's custody since her mother's car accident, Lara has no interest in bonding with him either, and spends most of her time drunk and drugged with older boyfriend, Feral. But when Greg uncovers his underage stepdaughter among the other pornographic pixels on his monitor, his secret life, as well as Lara's, is exposed. She has left behind the evidence, but Greg is just as guilty for having found it. Ashamed to reveal himself to Lara, but fueled by a new-found concern for her safety, Greg vows to hunt down the source of the underground website that's exploiting her. Finally forced to collide, Greg and Lara find they share the same wound, and these two souls once connected only by an illicit website, now share the power to heal.
