Animal charge refers to a sudden, aggressive, or threatening movement made by an animal. There are several synonyms for animal charge, including a stampede, charge, rush, attack, or onslaught. These terms generally refer to an animal's instinctual response to a perceived threat or danger, whether it be from a predator or something else. A stampede often involves a large group of animals moving together rapidly and often without much direction or control. A charge or rush implies a more deliberate and focused movement towards a specific target. An attack or onslaught suggests a more violent and aggressive action, often with the intent to harm or kill.
