A pursuit game animal can be described by a variety of synonyms depending on the context and region. In North America, it is commonly called game, quarry, or prey. In Africa, it may be referred to as game or even big game due to the large size of some animals, such as lions or elephants. The term "wildlife" is also often used to encompass all types of animals pursued for sport or food. Another term used in Europe is "venison," which refers specifically to the meat of deer or related animals. Ultimately, the synonym used depends on the animal, region, and purpose of pursuing it.
