Do wild animals get matted fur?

[Stephen Tashi]

Many domesticated animals like dogs and cats get matted fur and humans take measures to un-mat it. Generally speaking, do non-domesticated animals get mats in their fur? - or are they adapted not to get them or remove them? If they do get mats, are the mats harmful?

It seems its related to an oilier coat and rougher hair that prevents the matting.
