US Horses and Australian camels fit that definition. Maybe dingos if 8000 years of separation counts. But the rest don't. Humans introducing a species someplace they aren't native, even if it's on purpose, isn't the same as a domesticated animal going feral.
Fair point, but dingos aren't wild dogs, they were ere domesticated. Cats fit as well.
Cats are a weird one. Not really domesticated. Not really feral. Something in between. Like a wild animal that made a handshake agreement with humans rather than a formal contract.
