Hi,

Savage As an adjective, this means 'fierce, cruel'. A savage lion. A savage robber. A savage attack.

It can also be a noun.

Wild Has more meanings. Some examples of 'wild' that you might want to compare to 'savage' are:

uncivilized, undomesticated = a wild lion (not a tame one)

in the natural state= a wild flower

Best wishes, Clive
