Wild animals do not typically experience matted fur as domesticated animals do, primarily due to their evolutionary adaptations. Non-domesticated species possess oilier coats and rougher hair textures that naturally prevent matting. While domesticated animals require human intervention to manage their fur, wild animals have developed mechanisms to maintain their coat health without assistance. Mats in wild animals are rare and not generally harmful, as their fur is adapted to withstand environmental challenges.
