What are domesticated animals?

a domesticated animal is one that has lived in the wild and taken in to be cared for by a human. Some are released and some stay domesticated.

That would be a "tamed" animal.

A domesticated animal is a species that is bred and kept by humans as pets, labor, or food. Centuries of breeding have removed their "wildness" and many would not survive without human care.
